Artist Bio:
I have been sketching for over 30 years. Recently animal portraits have been my main focus for the past 8 years.
I have always had an affection for animals, from which I rescued 3 of my own. I combine my two loves; art and animals to create beautiful portraits.
My art style is realism with a soft texture, especially capturing the soul through the eyes of the subject to make it more personal.
My artwork has been shown at the Annual Reno Pet Show for the past three years and at Reno Tahoe International Art Show.
