It is SO nice to have you stop by here!

Many of you know my work from the funny "Sheep Incognito" series of paintings I have been creating since 2000 - and those are still traveling with me to fine art shows, irish festivals, fiber events, and city festivals around the Nation.
But every flock needs a dog or two to keep them in check - it seems that this flock of new pet paintings I started in 2016 has decided to grow by leaps and bounds, so that it is best to have the sheep separate from the dogs, cats, iguanas, alpacas, frogs, and mice that I have been commissioned to paint for their owners.

They seem so much happier here.

As always, my favorite part of being an artist is getting to meet people, and to make them smile. And creating these personal pet portraits has opened a whole new avenue of great people to meet - I've met cute dogs, silly dogs, smelly dogs, furry dogs, nekkid dogs, short dogs, long dogs, big dogs, pretty dogs, as well as parrots, cats, fish, bunnies, alpacas, dragons, and all kinds of other critters. Fact is:  if your pet makes you smile, having me create a custom pet portrait of him/her/it will make your wall into a bright, cheerful spot in your home.

So, welcome aboard - and please be patient with me, as I get this site up and running. Paint, canvas, and brushes do not confuse me at all - this here, this technology stuff? Yeah, it's a doozy to me...

As always, I love hearing from you - so comment all you like, unless you are a spammer. In that case, go stand where I can throw a rotten tomato at you....
