I have been painting for 15 years, and enjoy creating whimsical work that makes people laugh and smile. I live in Knoxville, TN with my husband, son and 7 pets. I love to travel around the country doing art shows and meeting new people. 

I work in acrylics and use multiple, thick layers of paint to create a 3 dimensional look for my bird feathers and animal fur. Hand painted patterns for background or clothing detail. Painterly approach for fluid or transparent subject matter.

Most of my paintings are done as a series, usually with accompanying stories to bring life and laughter to the artwork.
