Wildlife Artist

"There is nothing quite as fragile as Nature. I can't think of a more rewarding way to use my art."

Born in McMillan, a small rural town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I acquired a great love for the outdoors. Hours were spent studying and appreciating nature, and as my interest grew so did my fascination to capture it as I saw it.

So I started a dream, and at the age of eleven, with my parents help and encouragement, I began a life-long career in art. As my love for wildlife grew so did my need to paint it. I feel a closeness toward each animal as I work with it. "An animal's eyes, just as ours do, tell a story. I want my animals to come alive as you look at them, and speak to you. Their eyes can do that."

My studio is in a quiet town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in northern California. The town is aptly named, Paradise. From there, with my husband Gene, and Welsh terrier, Shauni, I travel to sell my work. I am pleased that my original art work is owned and hangs in homes all over the world, and am honored to have included the White House on that list.

I hope you will enjoy my art on the following pages. Possibly I will be able to add your home to my list.
