I am a happy person with an upbeat personality. I always try to look on the bright side of life.

Art has been a part of my life since childhood. I have been drawing since the day I could hold a pencil. It was my refuge during troubled times and probably the reason I am still sane. It has become my passion! I have a tendency to become absorbed in my work, pouring myself into each piece.

Wildlife and human characters are my focal points (but anything in nature may be of interest). I am drawn to them by their expression and personality. I try to connect with a subject through their eyes. I believe the eyes are the window to the soul and it is my desire to reflect the soul in my artwork. I am very attentive to detail, wanting to capture the deep, unchanging features of a character. The world is so full of diverse characters in different walks of life, and I long to capture them all on paper. It is my desire to create bold and expressive pieces that demand a viewer’s attention.

I am currently living in sunny North Carolina with my very supportive husband who puts up with all of my weird idiosyncrasies.

I have exhibited work in Seattle Washington, Kings Mountain North Carolina and NYC.
