I'm an artist who lives with and loves animals, so I paint or draw them in many different mediums. I paint my own animals, wildlife and I paint on commission.One of my favorite oil paintings is this wonderful horse, Derby, owned by a friend. My paintings and animal portraits hang in more than 400 homes

I paint landscapes that I'm moved by as well. Often, I paint animals in these environments, from combined photographs, using a landscape I've seen and adding a bird or horse or any animals that would be at home here.

Animals all have very unique personalities. I paint or draw my own animals all the time but also work on commission from photographs. I work in  oil, watercolor, colored pencil, graphite, charcoal and collage and love to try new combinations.
