The year 2024 started with my "day job" as a police dispatcher actually coming to an end. When I retired in 2020, I was still working per diem to help cover shortages. I really enjoyed not having to work as many hours but getting to spend time with coworkers, still be a part of something that I had done for over 30 years and make money to fund by art business. I loved the fact that I could create special gifts for others at an affordable cost while I continued to hone my skills in drawing and painting. Now it's time to buckle down, take care of business needs, explore and expand my skills and ideas AND have fun!
I hope to create paintings and other gifts that will make people smile, maybe shed some good tears, and bring back memories of happy times. I am planning on buckling down to create some painting series such as the "Bottles and Birds" paintings I've been working on.
I also have ideas for cards and other gift items. Some cards will be original works, others will be prints. This does mean I need to really up my photoshop skills which I find frustrating.
I would appreciate hearing your feedback on the direction I am taking. I aim to simplify your gift-giving process. Please don't hesitate to contact me through my website, social media, email, or text if you have any inquiries regarding commissioned work or other gifts.
