Born in
Philadelphia, Pa., as a small child my love has always been horses.
The early years were found to be very trying to my family as I spent
my childhood playing cowboys and Indians and galloping across the
great outdoors on an imaginary horse. Always the art lover of anything
with animals, landscapes or nature, I desperately wished that I could
paint. I had dreamed many times that I would become a recognized
artist, with my paintings seen hanging in public places and homes.
After graduating
from college with a two year Associate Degree in Business
Administration, I began to make my dream become a reality. In 1987 I
enrolled in art, the first of many continuing education classes at our
community college. Since then I have enjoyed workshops, competing in
art and photography shows with numerous awards and exhibiting in craft
shows.
Riding horses
since the age of eleven, I have always had a keen interest in
producing equine art in different forms and mediums.
Having developed
a "Country Nostalgia" theme, my work centers on remembering times gone
by, wildlife, domestic animals and endangered species. My studio has
also expanded into photography, portraits of animals, handmade
greeting cards, painted crafts, acrylic animal portraits and prints of
fine art. I am presently using my creative and artistic talents to
design web sites specializing in the equine field.
The interests
and ideas keep coming, the pleasure and joy in painting and working
for others keeps it exciting.
