Welcome to the virtual art gallery!
Take a look around, have a sip of coffee, and enjoy yourself!
Expect more updates as my body of work continues to expand.
One of my favorite things to do is to take my watercolor field kit and paint scenes on location, especially with friends. Most of my doodles result from attempts to entertain and encourage my friends or develop picture book ideas.
I've never received any painting instruction, so I've tended to favor pen and ink (I even produced a serial comic strip for my high school newspaper.) I'm currently seeking a painting teacher and working to improve my skills with an eye towards portraiture and illustration of children's books. To admire the beauty found in the faces around me and in this vast natural world gives life to my soul and is a reminder of the One who designed it all.
