I've been researching animals for about 10 years, so I think it's just a lot of accumulated knowledge! *g*

One of my favorite things about your artwork is that it introduces me to animals I didn't even know about, and inspires me to learn more about them. Thank you for both that and devoting so much effort to your craft.

Aw thank you so much! That's one of my favourite things about being a totem artist, is introducing people to animals they may not have heard of, so this made my day!
