I am a self taught artist who has dabbled in several mediums.  Graphite, airbrush, watercolor, colored pencils, crayon (in my earliest years) and almost anything else I could use to draw or paint with.  It was only since 2008 that I re-discovered Scratch art.  I remember trying it in grade school but only on the paper type support.    A great artist friend of mine suggested that I give scratch art another try and the day I did, everything fell in to place.  It was like I found my artistic home.  Since then my works have been in two major shows and are now in a local gallery, "The Framer's Gallery" in Washington IL.   Now my goal is to improve with every piece I create.  My only regret is not doing this sooner.  I appreciate you stopping in and taking the time to look at my works and I hope you enjoyed them.

I am now an Active member in the ISSA!!! (International Society of Scratchboard Artists)  The ISSA was started this year by a group of scratchers who decided that if scratchart was ever going to be taken as a serious Fine Art, we needed, as scratchboard artists, to band together and help promote the medium.  A group was assembled and many stepped forward to make this work.  Cathy Sheeter, Lorna Hannett, Patrick Hedges, Rod-Man, Sandra Willard, and many others worked their fingers to the bone to make this dream of ours a reality.  The talent of the artists in the society was recognized by Ampersand Arts in Austin TX. and they have decided to host the first show in 2012 and a yearly membership show after that.  It's exciting and I can't wait to see how far we can push this desire and dream.  I plan on seeking the listing of Signature status when the jury process is opened in early 2012.
