My Art
I was raised around artists. My grandma
painted back before I remember and she often drew cute animals
for us. Her mother painted ceramic plates. Her son and daughter, my
uncle and aunt, were both beautiful artists. My uncle taught art at
the local high school for a while and gave me some tips. His son
also went into art and design. My mom is an incredible seamstress,
an artist with fabrics. My sister is following her footsteps and
creating her own with several types of art.
In
high school, I was the only student in Art 4, because there was no
Art 4. My art teacher requested, and received, an exception for me
because I couldn't imagine school without art. In college, I
started working toward commercial design, but it was far too tedious,
so I veered off toward art therapy. These days, art is a refuge,
my relaxation.
And now and then I donate some of it for a good cause. I'm not
aiming at being a professional artist, but if you'd like a certain
print, contact me and I'll see what I can do.
Sketches / Drawings
Much of my art career has
been with paper and pencil/charcoal. I believe it's the best way to
start, getting in the fundamentals of light and shadow, perspective,
and technique. Most of my early pencil portrait work was of
musicians,
as part of my music obsession. Recently, I've done daily
drawing challenges as relaxation and practice.

I've also painted jewelry boxes, benches, and a custom-made doll
cradle.
Paintings
I've only recently delved into
painting after playing with it here and there off and on over the
years. I'm currently experimenting with technique,
looking for my own style.

sometimes with permission from the photographer, or via public
domain, but I adapt them for my own vision. I do not do exact
replica work.
I am available for commission and I plan to make some of these
available as journals, postcards, etc.
