From Fiber Art to Fine Art

I grew up running wild all over the fields and woods near my childhood home. Some of my favorite memories include riding my horse to and from the local stream. It was on these frequent adventures that I fell in love with nature. I spent endless hours observing the wildlife from my favorite rock outcropping that hung over the water of the creek. 

Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up a farm girl, I was in love with all types of creatures, from the tallest horse to the tiniest of toads. My husband and I now reside in Starkville, MS on a small farmette accompanied by my fiber sheep flock.

Although I enjoy drawing animals of all types, from local wildlife to exotic avian species, I am most fond of illustrating the likeness of our faithful furry and feathered friends.

The fine detail work that the medium of charcoal allows lends itself to showcasing their individual moods and unique facial expressions. In my portraits, I seek to capture and memorialize the essence of our beloved pets – each with their own personality, thoughts and complex emotions.
