My Process
Process
Nearly everything I create starts with a sketch--usually on a scrap of paper, an old envelope, a sticky note or a napkin. Sometimes when I draw, I'm observing whatever is directly in front of me (like my dog Walter taking a nap), other times I utilize multiple reference photos to create my own version, and sometimes I take an old sketch and morph it into something new.
I grew up oil painting in my 4-H art club, but sketching with just a cheap pencil or ballpoint pen is what I grew up doing. Nowadays, I really enjoy my Palomino Blackwing pencil, Micron pens and of course fine tip Sharpies.
My scattered sketches are easily organized on my i-pad using Procreate, where I can create stickers, greeting cards, coloring books and other fun items to share!

Bio
Most of my creations are place based, reflecting where I was born and raised--in the Pacific Northwest.
I love hiking, nature and animals.
