My obsession with animals stemmed from the fact that my sister and I grew up with a variety of pets. As far as I can remember, we had 2 birds, 2 turtles, 12 hens, 3 roosters, a 30 gallon tank of tropical fish, and a dog. At one point, we had to convince my father that getting a lamb from the local farm was not a great idea.
Needless to say, I am very passionate about animals and appreciate the companionship they bring to our lives. There is an unbreakable bond between a person and their loved one and my goal is to capture that on paper.
My first professional commission was a watercolor piece of two dogs in 8th grade. Someone had seen my work through my mother and contacted me. Afterwards, the woman sent me a long, heartfelt thank you card. I had never felt so honored and was unbelievably happy that it brought joy to her every time she say it hanging in her kitchen. I hope to continue bringing joy to others with my work.
