ABOUT THE ARTIST —

I am an artist & writer — I’ve been making ART all my life — in all media — pen & ink, charcoal, watercolour, pastel, oil & in every genre. My husband & I have resided in Chicago, Philadelphia, Montreal & Paris at one time or another. We now happily live in the "Ocean State", "Quahog Alley", "Jonnycake Heaven" … the home of "RIZDEE" & BROWN, where 20 miles means a "Trip" and a "Tour" is when you drive into town!!

We’ve bred & shown PURE-BRED DOGS and gladly had our share of "COUCH POTATOES"! When their ‘show careers’ were over, we couldn’t bear to part with them or send them out to depend on the ‘kindness of strangers’ … so they gladly took their rightful place — along with some not-so-well bred rogues — EVERYWHERE IN THE HOUSE — including our sofa & bed! I knew then I had to portray ALL DOGS (& CATS, TOO — OF COURSE!) handsomely — FINE ART & VERSE, capturing all facets of their ‘unique’ personalities — both on PAPER and on FABRIC!
