"Illustrating children's books gives me
a reason to use a variety of mediums
not usually explored in my fine art painting.
It has also stretched and exercised my imagination

She shows at juried and invitational fine art shows and has frequently been showcased as the featured artist. Her images are to be found in books such as Best of the Wildlife Artists II and in articles in various art magazines such as Wildlife Art Magazine and Informart.

THE WELLS BROTHERS
Justin and Jack Wells started scribbling stick horses when they were just four or five years old. Whatever one brother drew, the other brother would try to do a little better. This sibling rivalry helped speed up the development of their talents so that by the time they were in the 5th and 6th grades they were already selling their drawings to their classmates.
That was 50 years ago and the Wells brothers never strayed far from their roots. They ranched together, rodeoed together, and worked on several projects together.
Justin was completing the two dozen or so pieces for this book when he suffered a fatal heart attack. The book was not finished. It was only fitting that his brother Jack would furnish the final few paintings for this work. We hope you enjoy them.
