I live in Cordova, Tennessee in a house that is on the edge of the Memphis city limits. There are woods behind and on one side of the house so I love seeing deer, rabbits and other misc. critters wandering around us. Animals inspire much of the work I do in my studio in the upstairs part of the house. I worked as a graphic designer and then as an illustrator for many years and began making sculpture about 15 years ago. I've had shows at Memphis' Cooper Street Gallery, Jay Etkin Gallery and Winter Arts. I sell my work in the Brooks Museum of Art gift shop and online.
This gorgeous Black Swallowtail butterfly has been busy checking out all my Zinnias this morning so I couldn't resist taking his picture. I suppose he's a he and not a she. Not sure how one would tell.
I don't know how to tell either but it sure is a purty butterfly.
