Coastal Pterodactyls
Coastal Pterodactyls is a fun take on the brown pelicans that play along the Texas Gulf Coast. Inspired by a family trip to Galveston, it fills me with happiness, anticipation, and a deep desire to bury my toes in the sand. Motion and flight is created by leaving the underpainting visible in swirls representing gentle lift of the wind currents.

Care Instructions
All of my original works are painted on gallery canvas and finished with a coat of glossy UV varnish (because art needs sunscreen too), but please use caution when deciding where to hang art. Direct sunlight can damage and fade artwork and print materials.
