I began to love art of all kinds back when I first drew my Raggedy Ann doll at age four and my family was so proud of me. And although I've moved on from crayon to a variety of mediums, I have to credit my artistic growth to my first grade teacher, my artistically talented parents, and my high school art teacher who all encouraged and pushed me to be my best and try new mediums. A pursuit that was perfectly matched for an introvert like myself.

As a nature and wildlife lover, I am outdoors as much as possible. When it snows, I'm out hiking. When the leaves fall or the flowers bloom, you will find me in the woods. I cannot get enough of Gods creations.

Whether with my camera (which I never leave home without) or with my pen, I look for way the light embraces or brings attention to my subject. Landscapes with brilliant skies, light play through the leaves of the forest trees and colors that dance on the water.

Wildlife exhibiting their natural instincts, moving with inquisitive stealth through the forest. Large or small, they are beautiful and inspiring.

Some of my older art is signed with my maiden name Alisa Horniman. But it's still me.
