stars as well as the inventor of the fast draw holster -website:

however, has always simply considered herself an artist and a teacher.

She has traveled around the USA. Teaching various art mediums through art
workshops developed for both children and adults.  Her paintings have sold
internationally and are featured in several galleries, as well as in restaurants and
other local settings throughout America.

Specializing in the painting of fish and wildlife, she has also developed  a series of
old western paintings. Currently she is working on a 76 foot mural depicting the
history of  Dodge City, Kansas.  This mural is located in the DODGE HOUSE
HOTEL in Dodge City, Kansas. This museum of exhibits of the old west also
includes original Arvo Ojala Holsters as well as Gunsmoke  memorabilia, featuring
Inga's father, Arvo Ojala, and a mini set of the Gunsmoke TV show , designed by
Inga herself. Come and see all the new projects at the Dodge House Hotel, Inga

Inga emphasizes realism in her fish and wildlife paintings.  On her frequent
camp-outs and fishing expeditions in wilderness locations or near rivers, streams
and the ocean she takes photos and writes notes on her subjects for reference in
her studio settings.
