Welcome to my shop!
I knew at age three that I wanted to be an artist, though I didn't actually know what an artist was. I just knew I wanted to create pictures as beautiful as those in my storybooks. Life took me in many different directions before I was finally able to study and create art in a serious way. After working several years as a rehabilitation counselor, I made the decision to follow my passion for art and I went back to college and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I taught part-time at a local university and also taught private and group art classes in my home studio. I enjoyed that work very much. However, recently, I decided to concentrate on creating art full-time, thus the opening of my GoImagine shop. My primary goal is to create original art that is affordable, so I’ve chosen to work on a small scale in order to accomplish that. I’ve also chosen to embrace a traditional approach—creating art entirely by hand—no mass production, no prints, no computers, no digital elements or AI, just drawing and painting by hand. Each piece that I create is a unique, original work of art.
My inspiration comes mostly from nature, but I also just love to experiment and explore styles and techniques, anything art related really. You'll find me drawing and painting in my home studio most every day, supervised by two cats who keep a watchful eye on each piece I complete.
