For over 20 years, I have been completing house portraits and pet portraits for local clients. I have illustrated 12 published children's books about animals as well as children's educational materials for various pub

I am a member of the Three Rivers Visiting Dog Club whose members visit community hospitals, nursing homes, and hospice homes. My two dogs, W***y and Anna, visit regularly. I have been a member of the Humane Society of the United States for many years and am a supporter of rescue dog adoption.
