Philosophy - Growing up in western Kansas gave me something few have nowadays ... a chance to live the life of a cowgirl. Daily routines of ranching, using horses and working with cattle, attentiveness, perhaps life or death, for something or someone, gave me respect and admiration for the animals I portray. "Reading" these animals and wildlife was and is something I enjoy so much and want to convey to others and in my way, honor the ranching way of life.

An art degree from Kansas State University. Years of ranching, both yearlings and cow calf operation, gave me intimate knowledge of my subject material. Herd veterinary work and fitting and clipping of show cattle, have enhanced animal confirmation knowledge. I have always loved animals and have a deep affinity for them.
