I'm a self-taught artist, originally from Northern Minnesota, but have been an Arizona resident for the last 36 years. I have been drawing and painting for my whole life. My style is mainly realism. I love to draw and paint birds, animals, landscapes, still life and the desert cactus flowers! I have studied Graphic Design and have been an art instructor for many years. I currently teach for a very active art club in Sun City, AZ. more
