Parker Artists Guild

I’m a Colorado native and have been doing artwork most of my life. I feel I can express myself and bring out the personalities in portraits of people and animals. I work from photographs as a source of research, but don’t "copy" them. I like to use more than one photograph because it gives me a sense of the personality of who is in the portrait and I try to capture that personality in the painting or drawing.

My specialty is portraits, animals, landscapes and still life and I work in colored pencil, acrylics and pen & ink. I’m finding that abstract art is a lot of fun, and it can also be worked into some of my drawings and paintings as well

I am a student of art forever, experimenting, developing and creating my visions with the spirits of the East and the techniques of the West.

I have been immersed once again in the world of fine art – experimenting, creating and developing. And as I do this, I am also reclaiming my cultural strengths – aware of nature, sensitivity to beauty, awareness of the yin/yang principle of life.
