I am a 38 year old, self-taught artist.  Like most artists, I have been creating art my entire life. I mostly enjoy doing portraits of people and animals.  But I believe I still have alot to learn and am always trying new things.  If I were unable to  create, I believe I would just crumble up and die.  I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, but I have lived in Kentucky for the past 14 years.  I met my husband 10 years ago and we have been married for the past 8 years.  In April of 2009 we had our first child, James Casey.  They both mean the world to me. I became an animal activist when my baby girl, Natasha Marie, came into my life in 1992.  I believe we all meet at least one soulmate, sometimes more, who completely changes our lives.  It just so happens that the one who changed my life was a small, long-haired, torti.  She taught me alot about animals and love.  So in return, I try to do what I can for all animals.  Natasha just recently passed away on July 26, 2009.  I miss her like crazy...

I feed a feral torti in my backyard who I call meowie as that is exactly what she sounds like.  Your art and personal story, lovely.

Hey MK--Thanks for the praise on my self-portrait, my artwork is usually abstract, so I like to try a bit of realism once in awhile. I think your self portrait is especially nice with your cat's image included...really nice idea and composition.

That explains the cow.  and now I see it under The Sketchbook Project.  


I paint all the time and do quite a lot of commission work.  It's finding time to get online and participate in fun projects I wish I had more of. Love the weekly projects from art house for ideas.

Hi MK.  I really do like your Jester hatted cat.  That is lovely. Your cow intrigues me...is it two panels? canvas?  


You are correct, I do need to get more art up on this site.  I'm "itching" to do a project, but haven't yet found the time to tackle one.  


I'm sorry about the loss of your Natasha.  Although she remains in spirit, it is difficult when our furfriends leave.

Thanks for the kind words, this was my third attempt at a quick portrait for the project.  My daughter says it looks just like me when I make that face in the mirror.

Thank you for the compliment. I used oil on canvas for my self-portrait. I just posted a video about this painting on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJY8L6LElCs
