I'm an artist from Northwest Iowa and have lived most of my life here, and have enjoyed painting for many years. My artwork is mainly wildlife, rural landscapes and florals, and the Lakes area. My mediums are watercolors, colored pencil, pen and ink, and scratchboard drawings. I enjoy working in various techniques, so my artworks are very versatile. I live in the country, so song birds and pheasants are part of my paintings. I've had a career in First Day covers since '92, which is cachetmaking.
