I have always loved creating art and until now, I only shared my artwork with family and friends. Creating art using colored pencils has been my quiet time away from raising a family and having a varied career as a Paralegal, Title Officer and Realtor.
God has blessed me with a full life and now that I am retired and with a grown family my focus is to continue to be productive using my gift to draw. My husband, in sensing this desire, has encouraged me to share my art through the creation of coloring books.
My first coloring book, Wild Things of the World, was self-published in June of 2021. My second coloring book, Wild Things of the Oceans, Lakes and Streams, was published a year later in June of 2022. My third coloring book, Wild Things for Kids, was published six months later. My fourth book, Mild Things of the World, will be published by the first month of 2024. My goal for 2024 is to publish a hard cover, tabletop book with a compilation of my artwork from the coloring books, in addition to individual drawings, with progressive samples and illustrations of how I compose and draw my images. I also plan to create a coloring book with drawings of Christmas around the world.
Having received such a huge response with my coloring books encouraged me to offer all of my artwork in my website.
This venture has been exciting, challenging and oddly enough, relaxing after having spent my first 60+ years raising my family while working as a Paralegal and giving time to Rotary.
