About Me
Nature and animals are very central to my artwork and my life. I am interested in connecting with other artists because I feel I am working in isolation most of the time, as I don't have many ARTIST friends. I like doing illustration, but I don't do computer work, although I have done artwork for websites, including the Grand Canyon Association, internet website businesses, a hotel, and the Babbitt Brothers Trading posts and other holdings in AZ. I also like to put natural history stuff in galleries (botanicals,forest floors, animals and insects, etc.) I love working with Pagan/Nature subjects ... Nature deities, woodland creatures,faeries (not the cute ones, although fierce and wild beauty fascinates me). I work primarily in transparent watercolor, as it seems to suit my subject matter, although I also work in acrylic and gouache, especially when I do commissions. There are so many artists I admire (even ones who do work completely different from mine) but I'd have to say my major influences have been Beatrix Potter ,(her Natural History paintings are amazing, and she discovered a fungus...) Georgia O'Keefe, Ernest Shepard, Sallie Ellington Middleton, Andrew Wyeth, Alan Cober , Susan Seddon-Boulet, Antonio Lopez (the fashion illustrator), Joris Hoefnagel (I LOVE miniatures and illuminated manuscripts) and Mel Odom among many others.
Hobbies:
Reading, Making art, Outdoor Activities, Photography, Cooking, Live Music, Pets, Hiking, beachcoming,Nature journalling researching, animal rights
Favorite Movies:
Pow Wow Highway,French Kiss, Shawshank Redemption,Willow, the Harry Potter movies, Home for the Holdays, Signs....I love movies about personal transformation...
Favorite TV Shows:
Usually Public Television Specials, some nature shows, Create! ( shows on travel, art, cool crafts-(not the cheesey ones) SO ME cooking shows )--and my "guilty pleasure" is Scrubs. I also LOV ED Northern Exposure. I hate, hate, hate ALL "Reality " Tele
Favorite Music:
Many different kinds- Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Indigo Girls, U2, Paolo Nutini, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Evanessence, Carlos Nakai, John Trudell....many more I'm sure I forgot to mention.
