All of my artwork is drawn by hand the old-fashion way with a technique that I developed and is unique to me. You can find a demo on my personal website with step-by-step scanned images of a work in process from start to finish. Much of how I work is in my drawing hand and is difficult for me to put into words. I have finally made available a few videos of my drawing process, to show it really is colored pencil that I use. I have ran into a few naysayers who have tried to say I use a computer program, which I don't with the exception of adjusting my scanned images to match as closely as possible the original drawing.

When I was young, I couldn't stop drawing...through support of my family's encouragement, I continued to draw and took art lessons in and out of school. I also have studied printmaking at the local university but I have developed and am self-taught in the medium I use most, colored pencil and oil pastel. This technique is specific to me; even professors at school had me teach classes and show demos of my medium because it was so unique and unlike anything they had ever seen before. I pride myself in this fact, and I am willing to help anyone who wants to learn it for themselves. Many (even small, under 8"x10") pieces take up to 100 hours to create, so it is very labor-intensive and takes much patience for strict detail. Still, it is my favorite and what I love to create with.

I understand that my artwork is quite a bit cartoony...but, I always wanted to be an animator, and do believe that is why I draw in this fashion. I enjoy creating kitsch art, and I hope you enjoy viewing what I create! :}

I don't get to draw as often as I once did...now a mother of two youngsters, I still try to squeeze in a few minutes of art time every day. Keep an eye out for new artworks and prints!
