I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
