I have two passions in my life and those are dogs and my art. I am lucky enough to be able to pursue both of these passions.

As an artist I try to capture the beauty of the world around me. Expression is very important, I want my paintings to be clear about the animal's or scene's emotion. It is a lot of fun to work with animals and art together. It forces me to be spontaneous and creative.

I have been doing art since I was a young child and while I had some art classes in high school, I am primarily a self taught artist. Currently I am working in the medium of oil pastels and acrylics and find it to be very bold and striking. This fits my fauvist taste.
