I enjoy making fun, whimsical, cute, and colorful art. I love to draw and paint whether it is traditionally, digitally, or a combination of both. No matter the material used, I aim to create work to make someone smile and that is enjoyable for all ages. In addition to art, I enjoy writing and love to create engaging and imaginative stories both with art and words.
Now, I have a Zazzle store. A portion of all my proceeds is donated to support current and future guide dogs. As a former puppy raiser, it is a cause dear to my heart. I also absolutely love to draw dogs, so I combined all of my loves to create my store. Though some other animals and design elements can be found there, too. Check out my
