I have always loved pen and ink, watercolor and acrylics.  Crayons never really did it for me nor did colored pencils.  I had a brief love affair with Prisma color markers and pastels but that was a long time ago when I was in art school.  I definitely enjoyed my Rapidograph pens though, and one of the tools we were asked to have was a quill with metal nibs, which fascinated me completely.  I took up those old pens and started hand penning and quill my Parchment Art Collections.  My Rapidgraph set is among one of my most beloved possessions.  The majority of what I own is art or craft related, and I love it all!

All of my art is hand drawn and hand painted with Winsor & Newton Inks (made in England) and created on Strathmore Bristol Vellum paper.  I prefer the old ways of creating with my hands as opposed to computer generated and altered images.  I very much enjoy feeling the pen and ink against the paper and building up the effects of depth and vibrancy through intuitive creativity and application.  I am grateful to share my gift with you here.

Thank you for coming to browse through my work.  I am adding prints available for purchase to my Bristol Collection to start a nice inventory experience for my visitors.
