Welcome
Being passionate about birds, I started to draw and paint in order to express my love for these beautiful, intelligent creatures. As a parrot flock’s cleaning woman, jungle gym, cook, provider and slave, I want to be able to share this crazy, joyful obsession with others through my art. My artwork is the result of studying drawing and painting at Glendale Community College (GCC) since August, 2004. In addition, I am a juried member of the Arizona Watercolor Association (AWA),a juried member of the Arizona Art Alliance, and  a member of the Arizona Artists Guild (AAG). My paintings and drawings have been shown in exhibitions sponsored by AWA, GCC, Glendale Arts Council, Church of the Beatitudes Art Council, the Arizona State Fair,  Brio Art School, and the Chancellor of Maricopa Community Colleges. Several of my artworks have been donated to Liberty Wildlife,  the Save the Blues Bird Endowment, and The Phoenix Zoo.

As a wildlife rehabber, I see the effect society has on our shrinking native wildlife populations, slowly robbing them of their environment. My artwork gives me a chance to express the beauty of these feathered, furred and scaled treasures. My hope is that when people see my paintings or drawings, they will fall in love, join me, and take a walk on the wild side. There is much work to be done to ensure that these lives entrusted into our keeping are cared for properly and that native creatures have a place to live wild and free.
