SUBMISSION: Ryno by Jennifer Hartwig

"I discovered scratch art in High School. However, then it was only for a grade in art class. Life went on and I put it aside. Recently, with encouragement from many valued friends, I started to revisit the medium. My journey began with my first commission in 2007 and then (by word of mouth) more and I was off and running. I had the great pleasure of donating a piece to the Canadian Cancer Society (by request) and quite a few of my larger pieces reside in in homes across Canada and the United States.

I am currently kept very busy with pet portraits. Whether it’s dogs, cats, birds or reptiles my hands are always scratching out one or the other!

You might say my life has come full circle. Scratch Art allows me to express my joy of light, love and nature from the nothingness of black. My works come alive with each dot and scratch I place on the board. Passion is a blessing."
