I'm a full time artist
I'm a musician
I'm a writer
I'm a photographer
...and I'm for hire.
I run a web based business called:
But I don't just portray animals... have a look around...you'll get the idea.
I work with a multitude of mediums to bring my visions to life:
pen & ink
pastels (chalk and oil)
pencil
charcoal
oils
watercolor
acrylics...and anything else I can get messy with.
I specialize in portraiture, illustration, calligraphy, murals, woodburning, designing tattoos, and just about anything you can think of...
If you have a vision you'd like to hang on your wall, or body someday, leave me a message and I'll work with you one on one.
I'm also featured on Etsy.com, where all things are handmade... Just click on the link below the table.

I have a very intense need to express myself... it's just that more often than not, my expressions come out as songs, art, and poetry...
I have had a romantic relationship with art and music as far back as I can remember. Skipping as many academic classes in high school as I could get away with to sneak down to the music room to practice a new piece before the band would meet, or to finish my ongoing projects in the art studio... They crowned me "class clown" my senior year... HA!
Spent every penny I had back then on my vocal coach, JoAnn, who taught me so much... Sang at school concerts/weddings/venues/...recorded a few originals... I still sing on a daily basis, just because that's when I'm happiest! I'd love to do it professionally again, and I'm currently seeking a few good musicians to jam with...
If you're up for it, leave a message!
I have a fascination with guitars, and with no formal lessons, I've picked up enough chords to get by... Just don't ask me to play lead. ;)
I wore a tutu and a bun for 18 years of dance classes with Smith's School of Dance... kept at it for years till I landed myself a spot in the Dance Company. The rush of being on that stage was like no other...
I taught my own ballet class for two years at "The Dance Center", until I got married, had my two beautiful kids, bought a 1920 farmhouse that we're STILL remodeling (almost there!)
and I've settled down, (as much as I can) as a full time arteeest!
I love to write lyrics/poetry... I've got enough to fill a library, and I've blogged a few for you...
I dabble in photography, and take my camera pretty much everywhere, because you never know...
I'm getting the itch to start a new series of originals soon (not animals) so keep visiting... I just might surprise you someday!
Still want to know more? Just ask. I'm an open book. Read me, put me aside, ~ just don't break my spine... ;)
