I am self-taught, except for high school art classes. In late 2006, I was inspired by a book to buy some bristol board and drawing pencils and make a serious attempt at graphite drawing (at age 53!). Nobody was more surprised than me at what I was able to do. I have since branched out into color pencil, and after much more reading and insight from friends made on this site, am looking forward to expanding into paint and a looser, more painterly style after retirement from my 'pay the bills' job. For now, I am practicing and learning, focusing on trying to breathe life into what I draw.
Some of my work is available for sale as prints on this site. I love drawing animals and children especially. Commissions are welcome.
