Growing up in rural Georgia, life on the small farm held many of life's blessings: land to ride my horse on, chores to help shape my character, and the true love of my life - creating art!

​

Horses were my first love affair, and boy, did I enjoy drawing and painting them! I still love their form and elegance. Because of my life choices, I no longer have a horse of my own, but I have found great enjoyment from creating art for others of their beloved pets.

​

Any animal has the potential of garnering our affections, from the amazing hummingbird and delightful peacock, to the massive elephant and whales of our oceans. Whether it be a pet we keep in our homes or those living on the African plains, there is no end to the variety and beauty of the animal kingdom.

​

My love of creating artwork has driven me to focus on dogs for the past year. I adopted a rescue dog from my local Humane Society and fell in love with her! She and I have so much in common that I often think she'll be the last dog I give my heart to! You may have said that before, too.

​

About 45% of American households have at least one dog in them. That means there are about 68 million households with a canine companion. With all the money and attention we give our dogs, we should consider the impact they have on our lives. You may decide to order a unique, handmade piece of art that shares their energy & spirit in a visual and tangible way.

Every dog lover has a special bond with their dogs. It's how we celebrate them that keeps their memory alive.
