Bio

I'm a disabled, self-taught, colored pencil artist. I draw a bit of everything, but mostly focus on realistic style animal portraits, sunsets, nightscapes, lighthouses and flowers. I started teaching myself to draw in July 2024 as art therapy for my cPTSD, depression and anxiety. I pour my emotions into each piece. It holds onto them so I don't have to. I like to think of my work as "art with heart." I have created pieces to raise awareness for mental health, rescue animals and animal shelters. Each piece is unique just like every person. I do not make or sell prints. Every piece is hand drawn with no gridding or tracing. I do offer my art for sale and also draw custom pieces.
