My Art Background: I paint mostly original fantasy and sell my work on EBay. I also sell prints of my original artwork in large and ACEO size. I have some traditional watercolor florals and scenery out there on occasion. I've been painting since I was a child. I'm from a very artistically minded family and was sent to the Cleveland Museum of Art at age 7 to study art. The many wonderful museum pieces and great instructors opened the art world to me. My passion carried into my early 20s when I attended classes at Cooper School of Art. I then went to Cleveland State University and graduated with a Batchelor's Degree in Art. I worked at different art studios and commercial bull pens until I struck out on my own in 1994. It was a journey of alot of ups and downs, mostly downs until fantasy artwork became more popular.

Fantasy art has always been my passion and I am very pleased that all those 'starving' years have finally met with a larger market interested in fantasy art. My hours are long but enjoyable. I find mermaids really fun to paint. Anything goes down in those salty deeps. I really enjoy the water and feel much at home there. Plus I can use all my color combinations that I like. It is a very colorful environment.

My free time is spent helping out in the community. I do like getting out but am not much into the party scene. I volunteer my time at the MRDD bowling afternoons, keeping score and generally mingling around. It's prom weekend and the theme is "Wizard of Oz". I'm working on the background for the photo shoot. All and all it's a good time to be had while doing a service for the community. I do go to church on Sundays with the rest of my family and out for brunch. I'm not exactly a choir girl, I belong to a few clubs but they are mostly extream sports like kayaking or scuba clubs. I've even won a few medals in my PINK kayak. (giggles) If I ever figure out the HTML codes I will post a few photos!

Enough about me. I welcome you to browse my EBay store and enjoy a world of color and magic moments.
