I grew up in New England and have always loved the primordial feel of birches. I have roamed the birch forests of Massachusetts and New Hampshire and have had close encounters with these ancient creatures. The smaller birch paintings were done on location in the woods as were the Chinese ink on rice paper drawings. The larger oil on canvas paintings were made from memory and sketches in the studio.
