About Me
Pet Portraits at Pastel Image
When I was a child my very favorite toy in the
whole world was a brand new box of crayons and a
clean coloring book. That being said, I sold my
first drawing at ten years of age for ten cents. It
was a horse, and I drew about ten pictures and
sold them in school. I made about a dollar, which
was a lot of money back then. I continued to draw
animals as I grew older just for the pleasure of
it. At eighteen I started grooming dogs, which I
have done for almost thirty-five years. Grooming
dogs is a hands-on practice which has taught me
the anatomy of dogs, and the way the hair lays,
which comes in very handy painting portraits. I
am also an award-winning woodcarver, carving
decorative waterfowl.
Then my husband, who is also an artist and
woodcarver, fell through a roof and shattered both
of his wrists. Now breaking your wrists is not the
best thing to do when you're a woodcarver. After he
healed I thought he might like to do some flat
work, so I purchased a small set of pastels for
him. He tried, and decided he had to work in three
dimensions. I didn't want to let them go to waste,
(they were good pastels), so I picked them up and
at the ripe old age of fifty found out that I loved
working with them. From grooming, to
woodcarving, to painting in pastels, I am basically
self-taught, but out of all the things I have done,
pastel painting has become my passion. Medicinal
and nutritional herbs are another passion of mine,
and I am studying to become a Master Herbalist.
