"It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance, and I know of no substitute for the force and beauty of it's process" – Henry James

I could not put it into better words what art means to me. I have always drawn and painted from a little girl. Faces fascinated me and my first portraits were in crayon with my Grandma as my model. My father was a landscape painter & I am forever grateful for the gift he passed on to me. I unfortunately cannot do landscapes, only human or animal as I need the challenge of capturing their essence.
