How long have you been working on your art: I've been drawing since grade school, though I have "put it on the back burner" while raising my children, until recently...February 2002 to be exact. After seeing The Fellowship of the Ring I was inspired to pick up my pencil again and have been doing some form of art every day since then.

Favorite LotR Character(s): Frodo Baggins and the Elves

Preferred art mediums: pencils usually, though I have just recently begun painting and enjoy it very much.

Preferred art subjects: I have always liked to draw people. While I was in high school I used to do drawings of rock musicians (Sting, Pete Townsend). I also like flowers.

Art Education/Experience: 2 years of college-1 year for commercial art when I was 18. 1 year for fine art 2 years ago. I am working on that bachelors degree, though it is slow going.

Anything else we should know: I have always loved fantasy art, artists Roger Dean, the Hildebrandt Brothers. My favorite artist at this time is N.A. Noel (she is not a fantasy artist but is most famous for her portraits of Amish children).
