I love drawing animals.  The opportunity to help in the design of these books was a welcome opportunity to showcase some of my skills.  It seems that horses, especially, are an appeal to many of my family, and so it fit in well.

I've always loved to draw, especially animals.  Discovering that I could also paint, at a young age, was exciting to me.

I'm an animal enthusiast and own a dog, Max.  I have two bird friends, Bob and BeeBee, in addition to assorted tropical fish.  I love working with them in my art.  In college I discovered a passionate interest in photography, indulging in it often, especially with animals and landscapes.
