I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of Northern West Virginia. As a child I would go off to explore and study my surroundings. I would dig clay out of the ground and make little animals and paint them. I spent many days playing by myself and doodling on rocks by the river.

When I was teenager I became fascinated with the fantasy art of Sue Dawe. I used to draw piles of unicorns and store them in a folder with her art on the cover.

In 1997, I married my best friend, Roy. Roy and I were 19. We were dirt poor when we first got married. My mom saw I had a great gift and wanted me to continue with it, so she would buy me colored pencils and art paper.

In 2005 Roy got a new job and things were looking up for us. I decided to get my business license and pursue my art carreer full time. Now a days, I am busy taking care of my bright 8 year old little boy named, Jozi and my 2 year old beautiful little girl, named Savannah. I still draw when I find time and sell as much as I am able.

Goals for the future:
My biggest goal for the future is getting a lot of my ideas I have, completed. I would like to get better at drawing. I would like to get back into doing local shows and possibly some shows out of state. Last but not least, just having fun and enjoying creating art :)
