Animals have always been an important part of my life, but it took me a lot of living to realize just how places.
But now, I happily live in Beaverton (outside Portland), Oregon with my family and our little four-legged family:
Harry Barker, a pomeranian/pekingese mix; Casey, a rat terrier mix; Sammy, a black-and-tan Cavalier King
Charles Spaniel, Kayla, Mattie, Tiger, Maxine and Eliza Doolittle, our cats. We have had many other
four-legged family members as well, and I have photos of many of them below.
I have been many things in my life, ranging from a court reporter to a psychologist. My true love, however, has
always been art and animals; and I think my love of animals is clearly evident in my current and best career,
painting. And I feel I capture with my artwork the true nature of animals: beautiful, lovable comedians!

(1999-2010) our precious
shih-tzu, singing for his din-din.
We lost him right before
Christmas 2010. We're so sad.

Rose (1999-2004) was very, very special. We adopted
him from the dog pound during Rose Festival, thus his
name. Shortly after coming to us, he developed an
incurable degenerative spinal condition, which left him
progressively more paralyzed. However, he lived nearly
three years with the use of his favorite wheelchair. He
could do almost anything the other dogs could do when he
was in it. too.

Casey (1999-) Casey, a rat terrier mix, was adopted as a
pup that had been severely neglected and found nearly
dead in an abandoned crate. To this day, he allows us
almost no physical contact at all (and believe me, we've
tried). But he seems very happy and is a sweetie anyway.

* Molly, a bluetick coonhound, who was one of the most demanding - but lovable - dogs in my life.
*Brandy, an Irish setter that I shared 14 years of my life with.
*Blue, a huge, huge who knows what kind of dog who was one of the most beautiful dogs I've ever
seen. I loved her so much, and she died much too young, at around 4 years
*Sandy, a wonderful golden retriever, who lived a long, happy 12 years.
Labua, one of my two Rhodesian ridgebacks, who also lived a long happy life.
Tiger, my other Rhodesian ridgeback, that I had when I was a teenager.
Jolie Oiseau, a blue-fronted Amazon, who decided she wanted more friends and moved into a home
with lots of birds after about 10 years with us.
And many, many more dogs, cats, horses, goats, rats (yes, rats make very good pets), and birds with
whom I have been able to share my life
