Growing up in the mountains I always had an appreciation for the outdoors and all its wonders. As a child I was always drawing animals and cartoons. Winning my first award for a poster I did for JCPenny when I was 15. Since then I have won a number of awards for my paintings.
A short time spent in the big city made me appreciate the outdoors and mountains even more. I am a self taught artist, I spend my time painting the animals I love, and the animals other people love. I love going out and taking my reference photographs of whatever wildlife I can find. Spending time outdoors with nature always re-energizes me. I have also been volunteering now for a couple years at our local wildlife rehab center. What a thrill it is to help the baby animals. All are released back into the wild when they are ready, in the area they came from. How rewarding.
