I love to paint but I discovered that I don't enjoy selling my artwork. I came up with the idea to donate the proceeds of my art to a local non-profit, and began by doing commissioned portraits of horses. I charged only for my materials and requested that the commissioners donate a minimum amount to the nonprofit. I began volunteering with Trio Therapy Partners in 2019 and later joined their board of directors. They have ben the main beneficiaries of my artwork, but I have also donated work to the Eagle River Watershed Council, Small Champions, and Wild Wes Days.
