Sketching was the start of my artistic ventures. This has led me to oil painting and now pen & ink drawing. My grandfather was a professional artist for about 35 years specializing in Oregon’s history of forestry and logging. I was fortunate enough to be instructed by him in both painting and drawing. The artwork I do now, my pen & inks come from my love of the magical and adorable. The focus of most pieces is on my little elfish people and the amusing antics they generate.
I spend a good deal of time perusing gardening books and plant identification books for inspiration. When something strikes me, I capture it on paper. All of my sketches begin in a simple sketchbook of recycled paper. I select my favorites to transfer over to a crisp, clean sheet and finish it in archival-safe ink. I scan in all of my finished drawings to keep for myself and to create unlimited prints for those who enjoy them as much as I do.
There are over 2 dozen pictures to choose from so far and more to come!
