I have loved animals all of my life, horses in particular, and started drawing them when I was about 9 or 10, maybe earlier. Drawing and painting in general is one of my favorite hobbies and I’ve practiced these most of my life. I did not seek out a career as a professional artist when I was younger because I couldn’t see too many opportunities in this field and had no desire to be a “starving” artist. However, being older now and wiser, I have a bit of a different perspective, and art is getting easier for me, so that may be where my next career lies. I am very inspired by nature and being outdoors and I especially love to paint and photograph mountains. This usually leads to paintings being completed after a family vacation to some scenic spot on the globe such as Glacier National Park or Yellowstone and the Teton Range in Wyoming. It has been fun being able to have the talent to create good art and I have to give credit to my parents since that is where the talent came from originally. They both dabbled here and there with art in various mediums.
