Part gallery, part studio space, the McColl Center is dedicated to two noble goals: providing local artists with a healthy and inspiring environment in which to work and encouraging the surrounding community to become more aware of the art world. To these ends, the McColl Center functions as a traditional gallery as well as sponsoring community-building events such as “Open Studio Saturdays,” where artists' workspaces are open to the public. Artists-in-residence ply their trades throughout the facility, working with everything from pencils and paints to clay and cement, neon light, heavy metals, and much more. Housed in a renovated 1920s-era church, the Center itself is quite striking.

To me, cartoons, clipart and stock photography looked cheap and lacked a unique factor. As a result, I was inspired to create the artwork myself.Passionate about animals, wildlife, and the environment, I wanted the art to incorporate the beautiful and iconic creatures of our amazing planet. I look to create pieces that can easily be integrated into any type of nursery classic or modern, dark or light furnishings, colorful or neutral. You can be sure that my artwork will go beautifully with whatever ambiance you create for your baby girl or baby boy.All of my original artwork is painted or illustrated by hand using various mediums, including (but not limited to) watercolors, markers, pencils and pastels.
