 Fave dolls

I have been an artist most of my life starting with cartooning in school. I fell into holiday art especially Halloween and somehow came up with a series of Halloween characters called Spooky Hollow. Over the years these spooky cute creatures have gained a following. I paint them. Create them in clay and also do illustrations. I am currently working on a children's book with these characters. I have been very lucky being able to work from home doing what I love most. Some other work I have done are Alice in Wonderland illustrations and used these illustrations to create popular Chenille ornaments.

 My small claim to fame is doing work for Robb Demarest of Ghost Hunters International, being published in Celebrate 365 magazine and being published in a book about Cornish Litany postcards.  I really try to make my art enjoyable to both children and adults. I try to keep if fun and even silly weird. What is life if you can't make it fun?! Below is a small silly video introducing my new piece. His name is Grimmy and he is the favorite character chosen by my buyers.

Halloween is my favorite but I also love to do Christmas and fairy tales.
I hope to make people smile, laugh or be brought back in time with classic illustrations.
My version of Alice in Wonderland.
