Professional Fine Artist
Artist Statement
I have studied, sold, and taught the arts for over 30 years. I refined my skills through the tag programs when I was in high school in Portland, attending classes at Chemeketa and other community colleges, and most recently, volunteering to teach youth art classes. I have also done graphic design for 20 years including illustrating children's books and designing and painting murals. I have previously owned and ran The 3rd Easel Gallery and remained a local resident artist in Stayton, Oregon for 2 years.
Now I work as a professional fine artist and own Boopher Arts Studio in West Virginia. I have been juried into Tamarack’s David L. Dickirson Fine Arts.
I do paintings, portrait drawings, shows, classes, and demonstrations. My main focus is portrait drawings using graphite and colored pencils.
Like many artists, I am constantly inspired by the world around me. I always feel compelled to express my emotions using visual mediums.
I love to draw faces because each person is unique. I focus on capturing their personality and presence as well as their physical attributes in the artwork. I pour my heart into every piece. I believe that everyone has that inner artist, but many people are hesitant to attempt art because they feel they are not good enough. When do I teach, I focus on helping young people accept themselves as artists, while secondarily providing instruction to improve their own technique.
My vision is to have art accessible to all: where everyone can receive a high-quality art education and learn to express themselves through the beautiful language of art. I want to take what I've learned and give it to others. I enjoy watching young people grow as artists.
*The infinite essence of people’s faces and souls, I’m driven to capture the divine.
