My story is a unique one.
Struck blind in 1998, I was miraculously cured through the grace of God to later become a renowned best selling artist.
I had been told I would not live to see my daughter reach adulthood and then, through the grace of God, I was miraculously cured. Prior to this, I had never done any art to speak of (except the stuff you do as a child or with your own children) – then after my cure – God led me to the work I do now. He had a plan for me.
Fast forward to the 2008 recession, my husband lost his job. This started a chain of events that ended in us losing our home. One in which we raised our four children & imagined ourselves growing old. I had dabbled in art, but came upon the name “Phatpuppy” as my original endeavor was to make animal portraits. That was just the beginning.
I have had much success over the past few years, having my art published world wide. Because of this, I have found ways to share what God has done in my life.
I love creating and expressing myself through colors, textures, and fantasy imagery.
Certain finished artworks act much like a written journal… depicting what i was thinking, feeling, or praying about. Joys, sorrows, expectations – in every piece of my work.
Choosing colors that represent these emotions and letting my heart and hands take me to wherever they lead me.
Ultimately, I want my artwork to be an inspiration to your own journey and expression. If I can do that, I’ve done my job well!
NFTs are an exciting new form of art collecting in an ever increasing digital age. My NFT collections are in dedication to my roots. Starting where I began.
I currently live on a tiny ranch in southern California with two dogs, 5 chickens, one rooster, and two turkeys.
I dedicate this site and my work to Christ – who has given me every success and blessing and letting me provide for my family through the work I love most.

In 1998, I had been suddenly struck very ill and left blind - a bit of a long story, but let's just say I had a miracle. I had been told I would not live to see my daughter reach adulthood and then, through the grace of God, and the intercession of Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, I was miraculously cured. Prior to this, I had never done any art to speak of (except the stuff you do as a child or with your own children) - then after my miraculous cure - God led me to the work I do now. He had a plan for me. If you want the full story of my miracle, please feel to message me.
