Commissioned Pet Portrait - "Apollo" - for Jim and Deb Kerr
"We absolutely love this painting, Linda. You really captured the essence of Apollo. He loves hiking and being in the mountains. The photo this is based on was taken on what was probably his last big hike. He's 15 now and doesn't have the strength in his legs to get up the mountains anymore. This is how we'll remember him long after he's gone. King of all that he surveys..."

 Whether painting in my studio or outdoors, I strive to create paintings that communicate confidence in execution and exhibits a fresh, intuitive and unique perspective. Seeking to interpret the world in a way that will not only inspire others but to evoke or suggest images, memories, and emotions.  For me, painting is a way of communicating, connecting with others and a never ending journey of discovering and exploring.
