Visual Art – Milwaukee

I am the owner of Sunflower Studio in Rockford, IL. I work in acrylics and alcohol ink focusing on pet portraits, florals and landscapes. Many of my acrylic paintings include modeling paste to the prominent features of the subject, allowing for a more 3-D effect.Though art has always been an integral part of my life since childhood, I have only recently begun painting full-time since retiring from teaching. I offer children's art classes in my studio, as well as adult painting events & animal rescue fundraisers but I receive the most pleasure painting pet portraits or landscape commissions for others. Seeing how deeply my artwork speaks to them brings me great joy.
