I painted these pieces using oils, graphite, acrylics and 23 karat gold leaves.

    Originally from Kings Mountain, North Carolina, I attended the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, School of Visual Arts/Savannah and earned my B.F.A. in Interdisciplinary Arts from San Francisco Art Institute in 1999. With a father as a veterinarian and an artist mother, my affinity for animals and art began when I was in pre-school.
