hiking, digital art
I love to spend time with family and in nature by hiking and appreciating the beauty that our state offers. This leads to inspiration in my artworks that I love to paint, not only on canvas, but digitally as well. I love to paint flowers, birds, other woodland creatures and anything that strikes my fancy. I am proficient in using Procreate for digital art and have illustrated 3 children's books this way. I offer personal art design products on various websites such as Spoonflower, Society6, and Threadless.
Additional Information
I am highly motivated to help my students succeed in their artistic goals and help in their creative process. I am highly knowledgeable in fine arts and feel competent in relating this knowledge to my students through various instructional practices.
