I work out of my home studio in Edgewood, New Mexico.

Notes on being an ebay seller:

I have had an ongoing series of Animal Gift Art:  the
Blessing Art Animals™ line , for dog, cat, and animal lovers several years now . 
% of profit from sales go to animal welfare organizations each month. 
I have also started adding wildlife designs to my catalog. 

*I charge only actual shipping costs--no handling fees.

*I try to send a thank-you email to every new and returning 
buyer w/in 24 hours of when the purchase is made.

 *I include pictures and every description possible for 
the items I sell. I want people to get what they expect and pay for.

*Shipping times are out of my control once given to the Post Office.

In short--I try to sell in the way I like to be sold to! 
Customer service is important to me and I hope
you will contact me directly if you have questions or
problems so I can rectify a.s.a.p.

  I have exhibited my pen & ink and scratchboard drawings in Seattle, 
Los Angeles, Portland, New York, Chicago, and group shows for 
NW Women Artists. My paintings are in collections across 
the U.S. and an increasing number of other countries. 

I have a large catalog of whimsical animal art and
gift items--and I donate many pieces to various 
animal groups for fundraising.

Personal:

I have lived in the southwest for 10+ years, having moved
from the northwest, Oregon, where I lived most of my life.
I am an animal lover and do the bidding of 5 cats, with whom I live and work.

Behind my work:

I am a self-taught artist and my work is inspired by the spirit 
that inhabits landscapes, creatures, 
ourselves and how we are connected  in it. I work
toward empowering animals and supporting the people who love them.

Big spaces with an animal or person alone, or quiet landscapes, 
are some of my favorite things. I find a lot of power, visually, in 
that space and stillness. And spirit to me is often joyful, always meaningful, 
so my paintings try to integrate both. 

I try to add something positive to life and that’s why I call my spiritual 
animal paintings, “Blessing Art”. It’s a blessing to be able to make art 
and hopefully a blessing to receive a painting given with that intention.
Celebrate the furry blessings in life!
