Featured Art!
The following pastel painting was done at the request of my husband. Our favorite vacation destination
every year is Yellowstone National Park, and what a better symbol of this magnificent place - besides Old Faithful Geyser
- than a bison?
Here we have a magnificent bison against the background of Yellowstone Lake, shadowed in the setting sun of an August eve.
My husband made a stunning wooded frame for this painting, using lodgepole pine that we collected on one of our trips to the
park (all downed wood). One side of the frame depicts a replica of the fireplace at the Old Faithful Inn, complete with handmade
winding clock.
If only the web could do the photos justice! This frame is definitely a one-of a-kind piece of art.

There is nothing like an original!
What better way to immortalize and pay tribute to your beloved pet – whether horse, dog, cat, or any other companion
animal that has brought joy and happiness to your life – than with a portrait drawing or painting! Pet portraits also
make wonderful gifts for any occasion – Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, just because!
Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and some of my most treasured possessions are
portraits of my pets that have passed away. I put as much care and attention to detail into every portrait I create as if
it were my own pet. Twelve years of working in the veterinary field has taught me how much each and every one of our dogs,
cats, birds, horses, rabbits, etc means to us, so creating a portrait of your special friend is not something I take lightly.
It has also given me an extensive familiarity with many breeds and their inherent personality traits and characteristics.
I strive to extend this knowledge into my portraits.

for 2007!
Beginning this year, I will also be offering portraits
and originals in colored pencil, as well as pastels. Please check back soon, as
I am in the process of developing my galleries for these mediums.
Also! I am in the process of
adding pages to showcase my recently-developed passion for miniature artwork
called ACEO’s and OSWOA’s.
ACEO stands for Art Cards Editions
and Originals. The size of these pieces is trading card size of 2.5inch x 3.5
inch. They are highly collectable and tradeable. They
fit into standard trading card sleeves, or they can be framed individually or
in groupings.
OSWOA stands for Original Small
Works of Art. These are 4 inch by 6 inch, and can be displayed framed, or
collected in standard photo sleeves.

I am frequently adding or changing images on the site, so please visit again to
see new artwork! It is so difficult to choose from the hundreds of pieces I have completed, which to post on the site, so
I plan to change the images on a regular basis.
