Artist Information

Thank you for taking the time to stop by my web site.

My wish is to share my passion for this very special art form. 

In this ever changing non tactile world my bears and dogs can bring an element of whimsy, beauty and smiles into your life. I strive to create my animal creations to remind you of your childhood, a favorite pet or just to strike your fancy!

I have often referred to myself as a “working artist”, a term I feel so fortunate to have been able to claim for the last 28 years. I have had the greatest pleasure of having a career that has allowed me to pursue my passion, creating these little characters and bringing them to life for the amusement and delight of others.

Through my art I have been able to travel the world, seeing amazing places, meeting amazingly talented people and making many wonderful friends.

I love working with individual collectors to create very special one of kind pets and bears as a  truly unique gift.

I hope you will enjoy my creations and will gain an appreciation for this very special art form that I am privileged to share with you.

 Most of all I hope to make you smile!
