About
My life as an artist.
I started drawing at a very young age. I would fill up my mothers writing pads with doodles and then catch hell because she couldn't find a clean page. "Sorry mom!"
Many years later after trying a few different mediums, I realized I loved oil painting.
I draw and paint any subject matter that inspires me, from portraits (people & pets) to scenery, still-life and flowers.
In 1998 I found a book at the library on painting rocks. I looked at the book and put it back. I couldn't get it out of my mind so I went back the next day and borrowed it. Well the rest is history, I've been painting rocks ever since!
I also love to paint on wood Christmas ornaments. I create the design and then paint it on the ornament freehand, fun!
I also paint your pet or child on the larger ornaments. I include a Santa hat and "your" words on the back.
Thanks for visiting,

Frequently asked questions
What if I have an idea for a painting?
I'm all ears! Just convo me with your thoughts and we can discuss it.
How big are the portrait rocks?
The rock is "palm size", about 4" x 4" give or take. Every rock is unique and the shape will vary. The cost for this size is $79.99 Canadian + shipping.
I can paint on any size rock. If you want your portrait larger. The price and shipping will also go up.
Can I have more than one subject painted on the same rock? What is the cost? Can they be different species?
Yes! I charge 80% more for each additional subject on the SAME rock. So the first subject would be CAD$79.99 and the second (and so on) would be CAD$64 each.
For example; two subjects on one rock would be CAD$144 and three subjects on one rock would cost CAD $208. plus shipping.
The rock would get a bit bigger so the shipping will be slightly more.
Yes they can be different species. I can paint people and pets, so yes, you can mix them.
Do I have to pay upfront for my custom order?
Yes, full payment before I start.
We will convo each other with questions and ideas and I really want you to be happy.
I strive to do my best work with every portrait and want you to be thrilled.
What is the process if I want a portrait rock done?
*Just convo me with your idea.
*Send me at least one good photo. The more the better but let me know your favourite.
*I'll let you know if the photos are usable.
*Let me know if you want any names or dates on the rock. (Front or back)
*We get the finances out of the way and I start painting.
*I will send you photos when I'm done for your approval.
*Then I varnish, let it cure for a day, then ship it to you!
Please don't be shy about questions or thoughts. I may contact you too with questions.
What photos should I send?
Please send good clear jpeg photos. I cannot paint what I cannot see.
Close-ups and full body (for pets)
Outdoor or natural light is best.
Not so small that I can't enlarge.
How long does it take you to paint my portrait rock?
It depends on where you are in the queue.
It shouldn't be more than a week or two in most cases.
Do the portraits have to be on a rock?
No!
I have small flat panels as small as 4" x 4" I'd be happy to paint on if you don't want a rock. They start at CAD $79.99 + shipping for one subject.
