In the fall of 2007 I received the Ann Ophelia-Dowden grant from the American Society of Botanical Artists for this project and I would like to thank the ASBA and its members for the gracious assistance and what it has done to help me continue my studies. Many thanks to Marilyn Garber and all involved in her school, The Minnesota School of Botanical Art. This organization has been an inspiration to myself and many other artists not only interested in botanical art but the styles and techniques that so can so beautifully put them on a surface to share with all that view them. I would also like to thank my wife Lindy, without whose support and organizational skills this would not have happened.

    I will be adding more links as I think of them and if you have a related web site please write me and we can set up an exchange.
