I’ve always enjoyed doing animal portraits. “Poppy” was my mother’s pet dog that she loved dearly. “Buttons”, the cat, always welcomed me to one of my student’s home. He was commissioned by the student for her son.

Thoughtful, vibrant, hints of texture: the art and the artist. TJ Lyn is currently playing, in her small mountaintop studio, with light and movement and active tense. NWArt Refuge.com is under construction with a virtual art gallery and marketplace planned to showcase Northwest Arkansas artists and 2D surface designers alongside their local creations. Until then, @NWArtRefuge on FB serves as another collaborative marketing tool for our region. Open to the Trade and to the Public.

I make homemade, preservative free dog treats, bandanas, bows, bowties, paw balm, snuffle balls and snuffle mats.

Using retired or worn out bicycle parts, we create one of a kind time pieces from local bicycle dealers and repair shops. By giving new life to these thrown out parts, our landfills have a little less trash to deal with.

I enjoy exploring the tiny jungle of beautiful local gardens through my photography.

One of my biggest pieces yet! Spray paint and acrylic paint on canvas board. This piece is almost 2 and a half feet by almost three and a half feet (28 inches by 39 inches)

“It is my mission to create beautiful pet portraits for as many pet owners as I can so they can enjoy, celebrate and honor them as part of the family.” Deborah Billingsley, Master Photographer & Animal Advocate

My need for exploration and discovery is expressed through my multi media process. I use a combination of collage, ink, acrylic, and oil paints, among other spontaneous materials to create pieces of rich colors with layers of depth and textures, and a collection of treasures hidden in every painting.
