Announcing: New Unusual Friends' children's book -Stories of Hope & Happiness - series 1: On The Farm - meet Flick & Flutter
I create paintings for animal pairs that explore the connections and personalities of animals who are the most unusual combinations of friends . My work blends careful observation with playful imaginative storytelling to help everyone see how we can and should be friends with everyone, no matter their color, the way they talk or look.

"UNUSUAL FRIENDS"
Each of these animal friends has a story to tell – stories of hope, healing, and the magic that happens when we open our hearts to one another. Through their adventures, I hope you will find inspiration, comfort, and a reminder that friendship can be found in the most unexpected places!

"Mr. T"

My grandsons love dinosaurs so grandma had to paint them one of their favorites. Of course, those of us who know who the real Mr. T is will laugh but for the children, this is what I will call him. I know your children will enjoy him as much as I enjoyed painting him.
