About the Artist

Welcome to my Website.  I hope you enjoy but a small look into my world of art.

But first a little about me.  I consider myself a pet portrait artist.   My love of animals started when I was a child visiting my Grandparents Dairy Farm in Centerburg, Ohio. My journey as an artist has been a kind of, figure it out along the way, until I decided I needed some formal instruction. Once that was out of the way,  deciding what subject to focus on was the hardest part.  I love everything, from Ballet to still life, but my one true passion is animals.  Mostly Cows.

My pallet of realism, mixed with expressive brush strokes, brings out the personality in each piece.  Oils are my favorite medium.  The flow of the paint and extended drying time allows me get it just right.  The flowers that adorn the heads of each animal is a way to honor the  animals for what they do for us humans.  It's a personal statement to myself.  If you find a connection that way, then wonderful.  If not, that's okay.  In the end,  I think cows especially, make one feel joy.  My hope is that you too find that joy when observing my creations. 

Please enjoy being here and if I can help in any way, email me and lets talk art.
