Welcome to the Tail Painter Website

Coco 12/2008

Growing up, I always wanted a dog. As often happens, I had everything
but a dog - fish, angel fish, gold fish, lots of fish. I had a canary, a
mouse and even more fish. My parents always said no to the dog.

One day, more than a few years ago, my friend Elizabeth picked up a
scrawny kitten and handed it to me. I named her Sweet Pea.
A few years later, my friend Susan pointed me to Pearl, my wonderful,
resilient cat who is still with me.

And then a few more years passed, and my husband came along with a big dog. The baby came later and has grown up too fast.
Now I have a Great Dane, and some beagles, and a cat but my son would like some fish.

What comes around goes around.

I've been painting and drawing as long as I can remember.
My family likes my work, and I think you will too.
