I enjoy painting and drawing a variety of subjects, all of which celebrate the beauty of God's creation through my art. However, Pet Portraits remain one of my absolute favorites. It is all about capturing the love and personality of our treasured pets. My love of animals has been the driving force in this aspect of my art.

Pets hold a special place in our hearts. They are more than just animals; they are beloved members of our families, each with their own unique personality and charm. As an artist, I've found immense joy and fulfillment in translating these special bonds into visual art through pet portraits, capturing their lives and personality.

Here are some of the reasons I'm passionate about creating these heartfelt keepsakes:

As an artist, I find inspiration everywhere, with nature being a significant source. However, it is truly the beauty within God's creations that inspires me the most.

Have you ever heard the legend of the Dogwood Tree? This legend is a story that resonated with me from the moment I heard it. It became a wellspring of creative inspiration for my painting. In this blog post, I am thrilled to share how this enduring legend ignited the artistic process behind this beautiful piece.

I LOVE flowers! I love looking at them, I love painting them, and I love receiving them most of all!! People give flowers for all kinds of reasons, or no reason at all other than to brighten someone's day. I always say getting flowers for no reason at all is the absolute best, but to be honest…I love getting them no matter the reason! The biggest problem (or only problem in my opinion) with fresh flowers is that they will eventually wilt. Well, if you are like me and want to preserve flowers from special occasions (or just because they are beautiful) this solution is for you, and this is how it all came about….

I recently released the “Color Pop Series”. Each painting is a different flower surrounded by a different color. These paintings can be placed individually or all together on one wall to complete a rainbow of color and flowers. And this is how I came up with the idea.

How I learned to draw and ended up here in my art journey.

“What’s the Pointe” How a sketch study of pointe shoes turned into this fun project, four drawings of the same subject using different mediums.

An artist’s nightmare and the steps I took to fix it. Repairing torn and wrinkled artwork on Strathmore paper.

A little history and fun facts about the bluebonnet that I thought I would share with you while you look at how I created “Texas Blooms”.

Black Sunday has been used to describe January 23, 2005, when four firefighters of the New York City Fire Department died in two fires. I was commissioned by one of the survivors to do a memorial drawing that he had always envisioned.
