I'm a self-taught artist from Wisconsin. My love of nature sparked a passion for painting the great outdoors. I starting with painting dots on rocks about 9 years ago.  Now I'm creating large-scale works of art! ⛱️

I like to think I'm somewhere in between realism and impressionism. Many of my paintings are created from memories of special moments, places I've visited or visit often. I work from a variety of references, some from memory, imagination or photo. I enjoy acrylics due to the vibrant colors, quick dry time, and layering process.  I also enjoy doing black&white charcoal animal drawings, especially horses.🐎

I find immense joy in capturing nature’s grandeur on a one-dimensional surface—a rewarding challenge that continually pushes me as an artist. I’m particularly drawn to creating large-scale pieces, which allow me to fully immerse myself in the process. When my paintings / drawings are finished, parting with them can be much more challenging than making them! 😥

Besides crochet & knitting as a source of relaxation. I also create 3D multi media pieces. I've made way too many polished Japanese Dorodango Mud Balls, from dirt in my yard (YouTube or Google it, they are interesting). Also lanterns made from rolled newspaper/packing paper is my latest source of fun. 🧶🏏🔮📰🗞
