My name is Hiroko Reaney. I'm a married, mother of 2 residing in So Cal USA. My art is very colorful and sweet. I enjoy making Christian and Fantasy Art, but I can also make realistic portraits/nature scenery. Mermaids are a favorite because I love the ocean so much. One of my dreams is to become a published author/illustrator of inspirational children's books that people of all ages will enjoy. Another is to help raise awareness about causes that I believe in such as ocean conservation, cancer research, preventing hunger, providing healthcare for the underprivileged, and world peace. I've only been painting for a few years and my family comes first so please bear with me. I create with every free minute I get and am always trying new things so check back often to see what's new.
