Check it out guys! The Out West Art Show put together a video for me for the upcoming show in March. I think it turned out rather fantastic. :) Have a look-see! In other news, I'm just plugging away at making more art. I'm currently working on a large Friesian scratchboard as well as a commissioned horse oil painting. You can check out my Facebook art page to see all the work-in-progress photos if you're interested.

Haha, so yes, I've decided to join Instagram to try it out and see what happens. ;) If you guys want to follow me there as well, I would definitely love it! I'll be posting work-in-progress images as well as some other arty stuff. If you feel so inclined, you can follow me @shalesesands. :)In other news, I'm working on a couple of commissions (I've been posting WIPs on my Facebook page of those) and have continued my big 16" X 20" scratchboard of a Friesian running on the beach. That one's going to take such a looong time, but it will be well worth it (hopefully!). I'm also working on preparing for the annual art festival in town here, whi...

AFRICAN SAFARI!!!
0 min read
Yes, you read that right! In September of 2016, I will be going on an African Safari with a few artist friends! We will be going to Tanzania and exploring the country, seeing and photographing as much wildlife as we possibly can. I've been dreaming of doing something like this for a loooooooong time, so it's really hard to believe that it's not only possible, but going to actually happen! You guys can just about guess how much inspiration I'll come back with from this trip. The good thing is, I have a little over a year to prepare for it, but I'm sure it's going fly by. In other news, I've been busy with my Federal Duck Stamp entry and w...

I have to say that I adore your art! Your skills are a milestone that one can only dream of! Your scratchboard pieces are the most impressive, because no matter how hard I look, you would think they are photographs. Keep up your astounding work!
Thanks so much! That's a very kind thing for you to say. ☺️
You are an amazing artist & I can’t believe that these works aren’t photographs they’re so good! Incredible!! ✨✨✨
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. 
Love your work
Thanks so much!
Congratulations on your feature in Artists Network!
