I am a Professional Pet Portrait Artist - having completed over 325 portraits in the last 5 years. I love to key into an animal's energy to create lifelike paintings. I use acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas. I paint almost every day, I love it so!

Cat toys - every time I go to the pet store, it seems I have to pick up a new toy for my cats, and treats for my Australian shepherd dog.

Walking my dog in the woods in back of our house, watching movies at home with my family on our big screen, anything art related, attending dog shows as a vendor, going to art fairs and shows. My three passions in life other than my family are art, metaphysics and animals - not necessarily in that order. I also lift weigths three times a week and swim a mile on Sundays. ;-)

Galaxy Quest, Mad Money, My First Mister - any uplifting, fun movie without violence

Boston Legal, Frasier

I am the author-illustrator of -I Believe In Me,- which has sold over 45,000 copies to date. All of my children's books together have sold over 65,000 copies. I am also the illustrator for two of Susan Chernak's books. She is the author of -Animals As Teachers and Healers,- which is her most famous book.

I am a retired court reporter, having been a reporter for 23 years. In college I studied art for three years, then court reporting for one year. After retiring from court reporting, I followed my dream of pursuing my art career full-time and I've been very happy doing so. My books are selling well, my portrait business is booming, and my paintings are finding new homes with ebay buyers. I am truly in heaven every day as I can work from home, in comfy clothes, with my own hours and follow my creativity to see in what new directions it leads me.

Paypal, person check, money orders

I ship quickly after payment has cleared. Sometimes I wait to go out, just to see if an item is paid for so I can ship it that day at the Post Office when I do my daily errands.

I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon. I'm originally from Los Angeles. I moved up to the Northwest when I was 13 and have stayed ever since. It is truly the most beautiful place you can imagine. I've traveled to India, Bangkok, Japan, Jerusalem and once I vacationed in Mexico.
