Experience:
For over 20 years, I have been completing house portraits and pet portraits for local clients. I have illustrated 12 published children's books about animals as well as children's educational materials for various publications. In addition, I have had illustrations published locally for the daily newspaper as well as several national magazines.

Love of animals:
Animals have always been a part of my life, not only as pets but as an opportunity to serve the community. I have been involved with the local visiting therapy dog program for 8 years. I am a member of the Three Rivers Visiting Dog Club whose members visit community hospitals, nursing homes, and hospice homes. My two dogs, Willy and Anna, visit regularly. I have been a member of the Humane Society of the United States for many years and am a supporter of rescue dog adoption.
