Salamander Migration, 2023
Acrylic on canvas
One of the most exciting nights in the Cuyahoga Valley is when the weather is just right, around 50 and rainy, and under the deafening trill of wood frogs and spring peepers salamanders migrate from their vernal pools and move into the forest.
Overlooking the Oxbow, 2023
Acrylic on canvas
Over eons the Cuyahoga River evolved, cutting its channel through ancient rocks laid down by seas that once covered the land. The oxbow carved into this, exposing these layers of sandstone and conglomerate, and displaying its history layer by layer. The spectacular overlook shows this process, and the flora and fauna that came to call it home.
Flying Squirrels, 2023
Acrylic on canvas
Southern Flying Squirrels are considered to be the most abundant squirrel variety in Ohio. These adorable creatures are strictly nocturnal and live in cavities up in the canopy.
