About Me

Upcoming Art Shows I will be in: November 9th - 12th, 2007 - Gala Corina-Illuminacion, Tampa, FL (venue to be announced) .. Layout Provided By FreeCodeSource.com - Myspace Layouts -
Ricklene is originally from Sturgis, Michigan, but now resides in Tampa, Florida with Greg, her husband of 16 years. She is a true pet lover and self-taught artist. Her desire to help and make a difference in the lives of unwanted and abandoned animals led her to volunteer for rescue. She took her experience, knowledge and love for this breed and started her own rescue in 2002. In her volunteer efforts, she thought of different ways in which she could help raise money for the rescue. She began to use her love of drawing to create custom artwork.In the past, Ricklene has had many repeat customers and appreciates the positive feedback she receives. It has been very rewarding for her to do custom orders and of course, very special for the customer to see their beloved pet on a plaque or hand painted box. However...a new chapter has started in Ricklene's life and it is now time for her to concentrate on new ways to create and doesn't particularly want to be tied down with specific custom orders.Other than having a blast in her spare time (ha!) painting, Ricklene's life revolves around her husband Greg and their babies: 9 Chinese Cresteds - Maia, Dexter, Hope, Ping, Zephyr, Gypsy Rose, SumSum, CheeRah and Warhol, 4 Chihuahuas - Jeepster, Roxy, Nugget and Jake and 3 Xolos - Fauna, Hoggle and Pyrrhus.To find out more about "Me", visit my other myspace page...just click the link!
