I come from a family of artists and musicians, and art
has always been a part of my life. My father started teaching me to
draw when I was around 4 years old. He was all about detail, and I
learned a great deal from him growing up.
After
years of trial and error on my own, painting in different mediums, I feel I have
finally hit my stride. I paint animals with great care, paying special
attention to the eyes and fur. They have always been my favorite
choice to paint, but I will be expanding my horizons to paint other
things in the future.
You
will also see hand painted clam shells on my website at www.riverrockart.net I found
these clam shells in Mexico years ago and have finally put them to use.
They will be a limited edition to my artwork. When I run out, that will
be it.
I have so many ideas
(a 4-inch binder of sketches), that I can't wait to do. I have just
scratched the surface of all the possibilities that can be done on
river rocks. I continue to hone my skills as an artist and learn something new each and every day.
So, follow me on my journey. In the
past I have done many juried, craft, and art shows. I did pretty well in
those arenas but I need a wider audience. This is new territory for me
using the internet for selling, and it's time for me to show the world
what I love to do.
