I had an established artist out of Carmel tell me "Art is not for the faint of heart," and man, do I hear her on days when the cold feels more biting than usual, I struggle to sell a handful of cards on a slow day at the market, and I worry about my small income supplementing the lack of my furloughed husband's. Just when those dark thoughts threaten to seep into my soul, I discover a gem like this cartoon and all is right in the world.
Welcome!
I thank you sincerely for your interest in my artwork, or for all of you family and friends out there, for your willingness to show me support whether or not you think I have any talent. I have an insatiable passion for oil painting and drawing the beautiful world that exists all around me in the northwest. I hope you find a little slice of that beauty through my work.
