Visual Art

During my free time, I enjoy working with pencil, ink, and watercolor! Occasionally I try my hand at other media as well, such as oil pastels. I’ve never formally studied art, but I make it because it makes me happy (and because it helps me develop my fantasy novel-in-progress 😉 ). I’ve decided to share some of it here in the hope that it will make you happy, too!
