| OOTO Pet Portraits grew out of people's appreciation for the paintings I've done of my own dogs and cats. I've found a new challenge in capturing the unique character of each pet, using the context of home and yard.
I have painted and exhibited my work for over 30 years. My paintings and sculptures are found in public and private collections throughout the Northeast. In tandem with painting, I've also worked as a graphic artist and illustrator, designing logos, posters, magazines, books, and street banners. I wrote and designed You Can't Stay Within the Lines So Don't Even Try, a coloring book that teaches color mixing and creative thinking. Most recently, I designed and illustrated the covers of two collections of poetry, She Sleeps With Dogs by Maureen Owens and Echoes by Jane Moress Schuster. I also collaborated with historian Nancy Rosin, designing The Hands That Feed Us, 100 Years at the Rochester Public Market.
I live in Syracuse, NY with my four cats and two dogs. |
