We Have been here in Idaho for a year. Besides missing all my frinds and the ocean . I love Idaho, The changing seasons are my favorite thing. We have so much wildlife here on our place. It is amazing to look out and see Elk,Deer,Moose,Turkey out in our fields. It has been a while, but I finally have my new studio space. Roy cut blued pine lumber and he and I spent the winter making him a office and me a beautiful studio. It is so nice I almost hate to get it messed up(almost). We have spent most ot the summer cleaning and fixing up around the front of the property. It is amazing what a difference already. We are hopeing to start the remodel of the old farm house this winter. It's going to take us a few years to do all the things we want. It's a good thing we both love renovating.
I have started panting on some slabs of wood. They are so beautiful when there done. I painted one of Moose and one of Canadian Geese. I'm not sure what I am going to do with them yet. I can still be reached through my web site as well as Email crsaws@yahoo.com. My Phone number is 1-208-875-1532. My new address is 1000 Garden Gulch Road, Princeton, Idaho, 83857
I am largely a 'self taught' artist I admit that I am a medium junkie. I love oil, acrylic, watercolor and pencil. I like to paint on canvas, paper, masonite, wood as well as her favorite, saw blades.
I can't think of anything that I would like to do exclusivly my subjects are limitless and include wildlife, seascapes, mountains, and portraits.
I have been able to earned many ribbons and awards including 'Best Animal Portrait`, 'People`s Choice` and 'Best in Show` in local exhibitions multiple times.
My art has been published on the cover of 'Looking Ahead` magazine and a local author has published a book using my art for the books jacket.

I have done countles commisions including murals, portraits, landscapes, wildlife and pets. The last 2 years her personal challenge has been to paint a portrait of each of her 10 grandchildren as a gift to each of them.
I was president of West Wind Gallery for 9 years and am a member of Far West Art League.
My work can be seen at 'The In Place Restaurant`, 'The Smoke House Restaurant" and of course here on my web site. It is going to take a while to get my pieces out here in Idaho. I am working on a few places and will update the bio when I get established somewhere.
