Children are so beautiful and precious that I love to spend my spare time drawing them. Setting them in flowers or accenting their personalities just adds to the enjoyment. It's a real treat to find a new little person to sketch.

I'm mostly self-taught; spending loads of long hours getting to this point. But it's quite satisfying to know that others are moved enough to want my pieces on their walls.
