My mixed media Animal Art thoughtfully blends together chosen images of animals that have inspired and/or captured my attention in some way! Each image and corresponding backgrounds are enhanced with a variety of pastel chalks, pencils, markers, and paint. My collages include natural elements I discover on my walks that call out to me to be taken home, along with bits of discarded/recycled ephemera from various resources. Animal image and supporting images are then curated and adhered to create a dimensional effect that is gently and lovingly nestled with care on birchwood panels.

Creating art is my dream world where I’m inspired, offered helpful insight, and find comfort, peace, and love each and every time. I hope it will do the same for you!

A portion of all my art sales benefits animals in need.

For 2025, in collaboration with LaValley Home & Garden, proceeds will benefit Pilots to the Rescue
