I have been an artist all my life but have never been able to settle into any one medium. I love it all and accept a new medium as an enjoyable challenge. Most of my current work is done in acrylic or watercolor, and enjoy painting from my own photographs. I am a realist, but also draw with a passion and sometimes develop cartoon-style characters to use as cute, decorative designs for pins and ornaments,etc. I believe that drawing is the basis for good art and I encourage all aspiring artists and experienced ones, as well, to carry a sketchbook with them, wherever they go!
