My Bio
I started drawing horses at the age of five, and never looked back. Once I explored figure drawing, I really got into traditional media, particularly chalk pencils. Then, 8 years ago, my son got involved with Gaia and wanted me to do some art for him. I was very rusty, having been on a ten year hiatus from my artwork, but I decided to give it a try, drawing mostly things resembling anime. Shortly after that, came the digital drama...learning to use a tablet was a huge challenge, especially with a persnickety tablet! I finally got past all of that, and started watching what some of my favourite artists here were doing, such as Heise. Found great tutorials on digital work, and have been hooked every since. I do still do traditional work as well...;-)

Rising out of the ashes of what had been my life has been quite a challenge.  Although so much is gone, there is so much that survived.  So much of my art survived right here, on dA.  Some of it was stuff I was certain was gone for good.  Still searc...

Finally got something done. My art has usually been a cathartic, healing activity for me in the bad times, but losing everything, including my beloved Border collie, really took it out of me. My muse hadn't just run off to Tahiti this time, she was d...

It has been a rough year, but I do try to keep up with what everyone is doing even when I'm not doing anything myself.  Sure do miss everyone, but should be getting some art done pretty soon.  Hope life is treating you well!
