I was born and Raised in West Va. Then moved to North Carolina to raise my children . After a 2 year stint in TexasI moved to Idaho and instantly fell in love with the mountains , rivers , and wildlife there was to see. I am an avid fisherman and hiker and spend most of my time outdoors. I take tons of photos and soak in the beauty and try to transfer that to my paintings , drawings and burns. I use all recycled materials for my canvases , ( things that others have tossed out) . I absolutely love pyrography and the unique style it gimes my artwork. I also have a fascination for horses and you can see that in my favorite works. I am available for pet portraits and even human portraits if requested.
