About the Artist:
I was born an artist but was discouraged from expressing myself for most of my life. My first art class was in my early 40s. After getting divorced I was able to take art classes and enroll in college classes. My degree is in sustainability but I also took various art classes from individual artists. Art was secondary so there was little time for it and slow improvement. A few years after graduation I enrolled in an art program but only made it through 5 semesters when fibromyalgia took over my body and I could no long make it to school. Recently my health has improved enough I am able to function a bit better and go back to making art. Painting pets is something I enjoy and everyone loves them. We love our fur babies. They are with us for a short time and want to remember them long after they are gone.
