I have been drawing since I was a little girl.  My earliest works of art adorned the refrigerators of both my mother and grandmother.  Their kitchens were my personal art galleries, and displaying my creations in this manner encouraged me to continue to create.

Like most kids, I started out with crayons and paper.  Eventually I moved on to magic markers, colored pencils and pastels.  I seem to recall a rather “dark” stage where all my drawings were in pencil with lots of shading and intricate detail.

Being raised by a family of dog lovers, many of my first creations were of dogs.  Then I got adventurous and moved on to other animals, then scenery and people.

The past few years I’ve been getting happily lost in my mystical paintings; i.e., fairies, unicorns and my butterfly babies.  I enjoy painting things that have no known boundaries, and I can be as outlandishly creative with color and in features as I so choose.

Over the years, I’ve painted on many surfaces.  Today I limit my work to wood keepsake boxes, wooden-disk pins, acrylic posterboards of various sizes which can be framed and hung , and an occasional pocketbook most likely made out of a canvas or denim material.
