I am an artist & was born and raised in Oregon alongside my three sisters & one little brother. I have delighted in drawing faces, landscapes, animals, & objects since I was young - learning to look for beauty, texture, symmetry, & color in everything. I like to find quiet spaces inside and out of doors. I seek to depict, the beauty that I find. If you have happened to pass a young couple leading a troop of five small kids up a mountain, it may have been my family. Most of my drawings are copied from original photos that my father or myself took while backpacking or hiking in the wilderness on these adventures.
