Since I can remember my family always had animals. My father was a huge animal lover and I follow in his footsteps.
I believe animals are so innocent and full of unconditional love and who become vital members of a family. Your memories are as important to me as my own. Bringing your pets to life on canvas is a cherished gift.
I also enjoy creating portraits, landscapes, still life (realism or impressionism) and illustrations.
I have been an artist for many years, transitioning from charcoal, pastel, graphite, colored pencil, watercolor and oils. Once the background is created I then paint the eyes of your pet to help me create a connection to their special personality.
Up close and personal.
The eyes have it.

In the Spring of 2022 while painting a commissioned portrait, animals, and people on the other side started to communicate with me. This episode talks about that journey, and how it opened the door to animal communication, psychic ability and mediumship for me.
