My Bio
I live in beautiful British.Columbia. with my wonderful husband and our five spoiled cats, Karmen, Mandu, Bastet, Shadow and Autumn whom I love and adore completely.

I do detailed pencil drawings through a very strong magnifying glass as well as acrylic paintings. My work is mostly cat, fantasy and native themed. I also love dark Gothic art and images.

I am the owner of the


A gift from my husband that he built for me. Thank you sweetie
I ♥♥♥ LOVE ♥♥♥ you
soooo much!:)

THE BELOW IMAGE IS MY PERSONAL SPACE WHERE I DO ALL MY CREATIVE STUFF!
The table top can be tilted right up which I so sometimes when I am working on a painting.





THIS IS ALL THE ARTWORK THAT I HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS.













THE BELOW IMAGE IS MY CUSTOMER COUNTER. THE FRONT OF IT IS MADE FROM AN OLD DOOR THAT WAS GOT FROM OUR HOME WHICH WAS BUILT IN 1931 SO THE DOORS HAVE THE GLASS DOOR KNOBS. WE REPLACED THE DOOR IN THE HOUSE WITH AN EVEN OLDER ONE....




I ♥ photography especially black and white. I love to take photos with my Canon SX20 IS digital camera. I am learning PhotoShop and enjoy photo manipulation.

I am currently publishing and illustrating a book of my grandfathers stories (Lakota history) which will be available this year. The English version of the book "Das Wunder vom Little Bighorn".

I am a published illustrator. My illustrations are in the book "Das Wunder vom Little Bighorn" available in Germany.

In 2005 I started doing Lakota traditional dance which I enjoy very much.

I ♥ to explore and photograph old graveyards and buildings and like to do tombstone etchings. I think old tombstones are works of art they are history!

I ♥ anything Gothic and Steampunk and I wear black most of the time!

I ♥ cloudy, foggy, rainy days I think they are beautiful. Most people seem to find this sort of weather depressing. I find that it gives me energy and makes me feel refreshed! For me too much sun is depressing I usually stay in the house if it is sunny for too many days in a row and I only come out at night or late evening. My favorite time of the day is the night time especially when there is a full moon on a warm summer night or a thunderstorm is coming. When you look up into the night sky you are looking into time itself you are looking into eternity! It is beyond comprehension just how big the universe is!

I ♥♥♥ thunderstorms and extreme weather I hope to photograph a tornado some day. It has always been my dream to be a storm chaser.

I collect horror movies. I especially love Japanese and vintage horror movies. I am a huge Vincent Price fan!!!! Not into gore, fake blood and body parts it just doesn't do it for me. However, I do love the creepy stuff you know the movies that give you goosebumps and makes you look over your shoulder.... BOOO!

I ♥ CGI and stop motion animation!

I ♥ the paranormal and unexplained I watch many shows about ghosts and haunting, near death experiences, UFO's, predictions, ESP etc. I would love to go on a paranormal investigation.

I am a podcast junkie I especially love Old Time Radio and Vintage Radio horror stories, ghost stories and murder mysteries. I usually listen to podcasts while I work in my studio.

I practice Wicca I an non-traditional and do not belong to a coven. I cast spells which is no different then saying a prayer. I have respect for the personal beliefs of others and I appreciate it when my beliefs are respected. No I am not into devil worship I wish people would educate themselves about Wicca before they draw their conclusions about my beliefs!!!!

I collect anything that has a cat theme from jewelry to fabric and ornaments etc. Our yard is filled with cat ornaments!

Snow Day

0 min read
So who can get any creative work done when all they do is shovel snow? Usually we don't get a big dump of snow until the first week in December but this year winter has come early to our little town! So after a breakfast of Earl Grey tea and boiled eggs off I go to shovel shovel shovel. Last year we barely got any snow just lots of rain that I prefer! This snowy weather makes for great photos here in the mountains and at least it isn't too cold out.... We usually have warm winters here. Winter when I am not shoveling snow lol is a great time to spend hours in my studio since I have no gardening to do. I am working on an acrylic painting for

New Work

0 min read
I have started working on a new pencil drawing. I don't have any of my original pencil art displayed here because the photos aren't that great. They were taken with my very first digital camera not very good lol :). I will try to find some time to photograph my original pencil art some time. When I am finished my latest piece should be by the end of the week. I will be sure to post it on here. It is difficult to get a good photo of pencil art because the graphite shines! If anyone had any suggestions how to take a good pic of a pencil art let me know.... The drawing I am working on is too large to scan otherwise I would just to that....
