Description

I am grateful to be smoke free!   I am an artist and make gemstone jewelry.  I have a passion for oil painting.  I mainly paint portraits of dogs and cats.  I like to meet the pets, assess their personalities, derive decor and colors of the client, then take lots of photos.

I've done landscapes, portraits, still lifes, and design/ abstract. I worked on a series of cat people for awhile.  These paintings have a life of their own. Lots of movement.  Very colorful.  Lots of fun to paint.

I am recently smoke free after a 45 year habit of 2-3 packs a day.  I was recently diagnosed with Peripheral Arterial Vasculits in my  feet  and  legs...my toes had turned purple. I was told that if I did not quit smoking  that I would begin to lose toes, feet and worse.  I quit that afternoon.
