| Introduction | Maumee, Ohio is where I create all my artwork. I am basically a self taught artist, and I started offering my work to the public in 2002, when I created my business, Mostly Animal Art. As you will notice, animals are the preferred subject matter of my work, and that is where my passion lies. I paint all animals, pets, wildlife, mammals, reptiles, insects etc. They all are precious to our world, and I have always enjoyed all their distinct differences. My motto is, If it crawls, swims, flies, hops, or walks, I will paint it. My art medium of choice is acrylic paints, soft pastels. I previously created a limited edition line of hand painted original ceramic plates. I no longer offering any new works in this medium, due to a disability, and my hands will no longer allow it. At my family’s constant suggestion, pet portrait commissions are now another great enjoyment of mine, but again I am limited to only a couple a year at most, due to my hands. |
| Interests | Personal Interests: Family, Pets, Art, Photography, & Nature. Artistic Interests: Pets & Wildlife, but I keep my mind open. I mainly paint in acrylics on canvas, and on watercolor paper in a watercolor technique. I also paint in soft pastels, create digital art using my photos and drawings. |
