I am a self-taught artist and a hopeless animal lover, whether they be domesticated or wild. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, and picked up painting a few years ago. I love drawing animals, learning anything I can about them, or just watching their behaviors. I work with them as much as I can, and draw them when I can't. :) I work with dogs, horses, cats, lizards, goats, etc. I'm also a big Bob Ross fan, I started painting from watching his show. I have read an occasional book on art, or taken a day class here and there, but most of my learning has just been from experience: Watching animals, looking at pictures, learning what their proportions are, what their hair looks like, all that jazz. I can also supply random animal fun facts, for those curious enough to inquire!
