Welcome to my website, for those interested in finding out more about my interests and my work.

It's been a long while since I properly updated this site. I've been very busy on other projects and have had some health difficulties. But I was so thrilled and honored at receiving the very rare and prestigious WSO Crown for Graphic Design in September, that I had to update this page in order to proudly display it! My sincere thanks to WSO for this award.

I work as a freelance artist. My specialty subjects are usually animal-related or fantasy genre, but I've done a great variety of other types of work including award-winning websites, award-winning logos, software, magazine and book illustration and covers, collectible card game and computer game art, technical and medical illustration, and comic art. I worked for several years as a publications artist and designer, producing magazines, books, advertisements, and various promotional materials. I also have produced 4 limited edition art reproduction prints, and two of those are sold out. I hope to have a page up for my prints soon. I also design beadwork pattern books which will be available soon.

Hobbies and other interests of mine include colored and art glass, stained glass work, beadwork, letterboxing, treasure hunting, science, games, logic puzzles, computers, films, antiques, art nouveau, mission arts & crafts design, and of course, anything art- or animal-related.

I have owned or worked with horses and dogs for much of my life, and animals continue to be a great influence in my lifestyle.

I'm training my seven-year-old red Australian Shepherd to herd, and I enjoy it as much as she does. She has successfully competed in obedience and agility trials as well. Here are some pictures of the dogs - more to come. And you can find out more about "Aussies" here.

Probably because of my ancestry, I love nearly anything Celtic, especially traditional music, dance, and artwork. In the spring of 96, Mike and I went to Ireland. I loved it so much, I want to go back someday soon. Scotland is next on the list.

In the fall of 96, I became seriously ill. I was sick for more than 3 years, but I'm now on the road to recovery. I plan to make up for those lost years by chasing as many dreams as I can. I won't publish details here, but if you're curious you can drop me an e-mail.

On June 6, 1997, I caught some footage of a tornado in Boulder County. Click here to see some images.

Hope you enjoy your visit to my site. Let me know how you like it.
