I love life and color. My work is an extension of my world. Animals, people, my environment, and traveling inspire my work. When working, I often give myself personal challenges; such as working in a new medium, using a familiar medium in a new way, or catching that certain spark in a person or pet portrait. I am drawn to vibrant colors and contrast.
My web site is named ponypainter because the first thing I loved to draw was horses. I discovered the "Billy and Blaze" series by C.W. Anderson when I was a little girl and it inspired me to draw realistically, ignited a love of reading and started a life long passion for horses. I hope my teaching and art touches someone else the way that Anderson's art touched me.
I hope you have enjoyed my artwork. Please come back often to see what is new. Most of the work on the sight is in private collections. If you are interested in a work contact me and I will let you know if it is available. If you are interested in commissioning me for a piece of artwork please use the contact form. Commission prices are on a tab under Meet the Artist. I feel art is for everyone, so I price my work very fair. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
I also offer art lessons contact me for more info!
