I am basically self-taught along with taking some local art classes here and there. I have always had a love for animals and used to spend hours drawing them. Wildlife and it’s preservation is very important to me and when I found IWA, it was a perfect fit! I first began painting on circular saw blades making clocks, then on to full paintings. I began experimenting with Sculpey clay sort of accidently and found a real passion for making wildlife sculptures.
