I was born in Wisconsin and love this state.  It is so beautiful.   My favorite place to be is by Lake Michigan.  It is like looking at the ocean and is really awe inspiring.My love of nature has inspired me to illustrate animals and birds from a very  young age.    I work in watercolor with some colored pencil to highlight areas.    I will dabble in photoshop but my main passion is watercolor.  I have been drawing since I was a very young child and knew that was what I wanted to do with my life.  I live with my husband  with loads of animals to keep us company.
