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 papers, 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 I’m taken to a magical realm where I’m inspired, offered helpful insight, find comfort, peace, and love. I hope my art will do the same for you!
A portion of all my art sales benefits animals in need. For 2025, in partnership with LaValley Home & Garden, proceeds benefit Pilots to the Rescue
