Personal Data 

I am a full time artist with my studio at Stone Soup Studios in Cody. The subjects of my work are usually people, places and things around the west. Wildlife and domestic animals are a real love and I do many of them. I belong to a group who gets together and hires a model once a week. What a great experience. I also participate in many Quick Draws and use a live model as often as I can.

Mediums:
- Pen and Ink
- Pastel
- Scratchboard
- Oil

I started working with pen and ink several years ago and began developing a technique of stippling with technical pens and colored inks. Although I still like working with other mediums, most of my work is done in pen and ink.
