Publications and Research
Flora and Fauna of Central America
for Parque Archeoecologico de XCaret
I spent two years living in Quintana Roo (state), Playa del Carmen (city), Mexico working as an illustrator for a large nature park and studying the nature of Central American jungles and coral reefs. Not a publication, just intense work that was quite fascinating. Though most of my work was for my client, my own sketches can be seen among the art on my websites.
