Back before kids I worked for the San Diego Zoo for about 14 years! But sadly that also meant that when I moved away to London I was just about burn out on looking at anything animal related. As much as I absolutely love animals and all the good work the zoo does I had no desire to draw an animal. Besides, in my head, my days of art and fashion were about to begin.... Well that never really happened, I got pregnant with my little girl and decided that it was time to come back to San Diego after a dreamy year in London.
My days of drawing children began. It's been fun, it's made me some money (not much) and it's made for some very fun annual Christmas cards. I now have two very beautiful children and my friends and family have had the joy of watching them grow through my art. This year for Christmas I was drawing my card and had incorporated some deer, birds, and bunnies. A good friend and supporter of mine commented on how cute my animals were. It stuck in my head and it got me thinking. They were cute and I had really really enjoyed drawing them. It made me want to draw more animals.

So here I was about 14 years after quitting my job at the Zoo in hopes to go do something glamours in London, I find myself so happy drawing super cute animals. Here is a peek of what I have done so far.
