It is an honor to be awarded Mesquite Fine Art Gallery’s Card Artist of the Month.

First, thank you to all who purchase a card.  A person purchasing my art is the biggest compliment I can receive.  It’s a Sally Field moment. “You like me, you really like me!”

I also realize that people take time to purchase a card for someone else. They want that “just perfect” card, and I consider it an honor to be the artist of that special card. I watched my mom purchase cards for family and friends. She would look at every card in the store to find that “just perfect” card. It took forever! She would put a lot of thought into buying a card, and it is not something she would rush through. It had to be perfect. Many people are like my mom, and I think of her when I create a card.

Most of the cards I create are using the art form many call “Doodling.”  Although my cards will depict many themes, I seem to be drawn to the desert. The desert is beautiful with all the varieties of cactus, birds, scenery, and animals. Most of my art is drawn from the inspiration of the desert. The cards are copies of my ink doodle originals, but I want to make the cards a little different, so I add bling. Who doesn’t like bling? After printing, I will sometimes add color to each individual card. I feel these little additions make the cards fun and unique. Some of my cards are from photographs I have taken and from a few of my graphite drawings.  Recently, I have gone down another rabbit hole, AI, and am attempting to incorporate it into my art with the feeling that although it has some AI elements, it is still a unique piece of art. Notice the picture of myself for the display. Other pieces coming soon as I work through this journey.
Again, thank you for your purchase.
