About the Artist:

I do oil paintings, pencil drawings and photographs of nature, landscapes and wildlife.  But I also take pictures of whatever catches my eye.  I have a lot of variety in my work, dealing with many subjects that people can relate to.  I've been displaying my work at art shows for six years and I've been painting for twenty years. 

About the Work (What/who has inspired you?):

"I've been enjoying the outdoors for most of my life.  Camping, hiking, fishing and hunting have all been a major part of my life.  Being outdoors so much has inspired me to create artwork that relates to places I've seen and enjoyed.

About the Artist:

I am a mixed media artist specializing in Printmaking. My very favorite print mediums to work with are Etching and Linocuts. In addition to making artwork, I am also a teaching artist who works out of area schools, community centers, art centers, and with other artists who want to learn printmaking techniques.

About the Work (What/who has inspired you?):

My Goal is to make high quality, affordable, handmade artwork that bring joy to the viewer. When people pick up my work and smile, I know I am creating something that will enhance their lives in some small way.
