Or "Cookie."  In real life, she is my little sister's spoiled cat princess and is just stunningly beautiful!

The International Artist Magazine

Clearly a highlight in my career was the publishing of some of my paintings with an article about work and inspiration.

Proudly presenting the December/January issue of the International Artist:








A Magic Moment

When I found myself standing right in front of this beautiful deer. Thankfully I was holding my camera. Keeping her, through silly actions from myself, engaged, I was able to take a perfect photo, which inspired me to this painting. One of my favorite paintings, so far.
