I have been painting for 24 years. I love to paint life and personality into my subjects. I enjoy animals of all shapes and sizes to paint. I have been accepted into the National Harness Track Association of Art Show for many years and have won 2 special excellence awards from them. I have been invited and accepted to the Nature Art Festival held by the Roger Troy Peterson Institute. I have donated works of art to charities and have received numerous awards for my art.
