Artist Bio:
I have been sketching for over 30 years. Animal portraits have been my main focus for the past 8 years. I have always had an affection for animals, from which I rescued three of my own. I combine my two loves, art and animals, to create beautiful portraits. My art style is realism with a soft texture, especially capturing the soul through the eyes of the subject. My artwork has been shown at the Annual Reno Pet Show for the past three years and at the Reno Tahoe International Art Show.
