It’s in the mountains of West Virginia, where my husband and I gratefully call home. Both out our doors at home and during our travels, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to train and develop our English Setters on wild birds; primarily ruffed grouse.
Throughout the year, many miles are dedicated to running our setters - fall providing the fondest time of year. As I more often enjoy “dry hunting” for reasons Bob Wehle best described, I can better observe the detail and actions of the wild, while sparing the hands for a camera. As timeless scenes and praised dog work unfolds, I take reference photos and handwritten notes to bring back to the studio.
Much like my enthusiasm for dog development, artwork is also an admiration for the long sight process. Each piece is inspired by first hand experience and knowledge, crafted from personal notes and reference photos, and thoughtfully composed by hand.
Much of my work features favorite covers, wild birds, and admired dog work; sharing real stories and memorable days spent behind bird dogs.
