Award winning western and wildlife artist

Paintings
I started my art career doing pastel portraits of animals. Eventually, as time allowed, I began to add paintings of children, wildlife, landscapes, sport and western scenes to my portfolio. I work mainly in pastels and oil paints but occasionally in acrylics and mixed media.
Each piece of jewelry is designed and completely hand crafted by myself and no two are the same. Most are reversible and some pieces may contain semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals, glass beads or rhinestones. Others are made with sterling silver or carved from wood.

Over time, I became interested in other art forms including wood carving, glass etching, clay sculpture, and resin work.
