I'm a 28-year-old, full-time freelance artist with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art.  I'm happily married to a wonderful guy named Alan, and we share our home with nine  crazy cats (and a hamster).   As you can probably tell, I'm an animal lover, and cats in particular are a neverending source of inspiration and amusement for me.
I've been drawing ever since I could pick up a pencil, and I'm always looking for new ways to improve and for new ideas to explore.  I like to work in mixed media - usually graphite and Photoshop, but I've dabbled in a little bit of everything, including welding, stained glass, copper etching, plaster molds, screenprinting, paints, photography, and, most recently, leather work.  However, I'll always have a special fondness for the pen and pencil.

A few of my favorite artists (to whom I owe much inspiration) are Shunya Yamashita, Chuck Close, Alphonse Mucha, Ayami Kojima, M.C. Escher, and Melody Pena.

I look forward to seeing this site grow and hope that everyone enjoys their visit!
