Growing up in the inner city of Toledo, Ohio, I have had a loving bond with Animals and Art since childhood. I've found that animals and nature give an unconditional love and beauty, and thus has my undying respect, love, and need to try and convey this special spirit through my art to all those willing to see it.
My abilities are all mostly God given, except for the classes that were available in grade and high school. I always like to start with the eyes of each animal, as this is were the true eminence of each animal comes through and gives me my inspiration.
Now living in a small village of Tontogany, Ohio,I became a member of the Toledo Artist club in 2002, and have participated in many of there wonderful shows. Winning 'two' Honorable Mention awards in 2004. One in the All Creatures Great and Small Show, and also in the Holiday Show. Doing commissions of precious pets has given me the ability to continue my art full time, while making others happy.
My work "Palomino Beauty" was featured on the cover of "The Animal Times" October's issue, along with an article about me.They are a free animal informative paper that goes to three southern states.A must read if you live in Tennessee, Kentucky,or North Carolina. http://www.animal-times.com/
My hope is to somehow make a difference. To benefit and bring out the awareness of our wildlife and domestic animals.
