Welcome to My Studio

I have developed my artwork in the rural areas of Maryland. Initially working in pastels only, I expanded my use of mediums to oils and the mixed media combination of pastels with pen and ink. My artwork includes animal portraits, landscapes and still life done in a representational style. I want my artwork to express my emotional response to the natural world and my love of all creatures, great and small. I hope the joy I feel while painting shines through my art and makes you smile.
For the time being, you will not find pages of images on this site. It is taking me entirely too long to figure out how to get the images on the pages the way I want them. That takes time away from the easel and that makes me cranky! Use the email above to contact me if you are interested in a pet portrait or other artwork. Thanks!
