A woman asked me to paint her cat’s face on an ornament she purchased. Here is the result.

Artist’s Bio

I grew up in the city and became a reluctant convert to county living in NH. Now I enjoy being in a more rural setting. Living up here in NH allowed me to be able to have a dog which I had longed for since being out on my own. We had the pleasure of raising a beautiful Sheltie we named Jazz. He was a very special member of our family. Sadly he passed last August 2018 after suffering a stroke. He lived a full long life and was loved deeply, especially by his boy, my son. We miss him terribly. I do love animals though I don’t want another dog or another pet for that matter, I get to use my artistic talents to paint other people’s pets. That brings a rewarding feeling and that’s all I need right now.

I started painting when I was 15. Most of you will likely not know this musical group from the late 1970s called, The Bay City Rollers, but I was a huge fan. I even had the crazy short pants with tartan down the sides like the band members wore. I decided one day I wanted to paint the band members in concert. My mother bought the paints I asked for and without any hesitation I painted a full wall mural of the band. I cherished it but our landlord didn’t (oops). Anyhow, I took a long break from painting until later in life when I felt the strong urge to paint again. I love painting with watercolor which is my favorite genre. I also paint with acrylic and some oils. I have worked with pastels which are a very messy, but loads of fun.

I paint most things in a more realistic style, though I have done some abstract work.

I’m working on growing my small business and loving it. If you would like more information feel free to contact me.
