I am currently developing an illustrated field-guide style book dedicated to the birds of New York State. Each species will feature detailed, observational illustrations paired with accessible, engaging information designed for both bird enthusiasts and curious beginners. The project blends scientific reference with expressive illustration, celebrating the diversity, beauty, and everyday presence of New York’s birdlife through art.
