I am the author and illustrator of twelve non-fiction books for children. I specialize in historic and prehistoric subjects, from giant dinosaurs and ancient sharks to knights in armor and pirates on the high seas.
After earning a degree in biology from the University of Virginia in 1982, I went to art school at Virginia Commonwealth University. I have been a freelance illustrator since 1986, working for clients such as National Geographic, Newsweek magazine, The Discovery Channel, The Smithsonian, and The American Museum of Natural History. My artwork has appeared in magazines and newspapers, on posters and greeting cards, and even on billboards. In 2008, a production team for The History Channel filmed me working in my studio for a show about recreating dinosaurs. In addition, I paint maritime scenes that sell in galleries.
