Growing up on the rolling prairie of my father's farm, I had a deep appreciation for horses. When I wasn't riding or hanging out with them, I was drawing them.
After high school graduation I put away drawing and began working and training horses. It wasn't until thirty years later that I began doodling while I was a Hippology Coach. When the girls were off testing during the competition, I would spend my time drawing.
During the Western Art Week in 2015 at Great Falls, MT I first observed a Scratchboard artist. I was amazed by the detail she could achieve by using the tools she used to create her artwork. She told me which tools she used and that very day I went out and purchased them.
