I am Texas born and raised and a proud Chickasaw Citizen from the Chickasaw Nation in Ada Oklahoma. My drawings are visual creations for the one thing that has remained constant in my own journey; how I choose to define myself is simply my connection with me, my family, my friends, and my surroundings. I am a self-taught artist,with a God Given Gift. I also give a great deal of credit for my creativity to other artists who I'm glad to call my friends.The inspiration of fellow artists is priceless. I prefer my drawings to stand on their own. I'm an outsider, not fitting neatly into any category by which "artists" are described and marketed, its their story not mine..Having been an artist as long as I can remember, I love to create, I could not live without pencil and paper ! I love that beauty exists for no reason at all. It's there for us to invite in. A constant in my life.
God Bless you, and thank you for your time. Carol

A Portrait of Your Choice !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
E-mail me a photo of your choosing, from which I will create a custom portrait in graphite ! The drawing will be done on 8x10 or 11X14 Bristol Vellum paper, which is very good quality, and will be fixed so it will not smudge to a light touch.
Photos sent by postal mail will be returned with completed artwork.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.
