My name is Whaley and I was born and raised in Alaska- one of the most beautiful and rich places in the world. I have been drawing since I was very little and only started to paint a few years ago, using mostly oils in the beginning then slowly expanding into acrylics and papers creating multimedia works. In art, above all else I am mesmerized, enamored even, by texture. I hope you see this and find what you are looking for in my art.
