Every morning that I wake up my first thoughts, after warm thoughts about my loved ones, are creative ideas. And every night, as I lay my head down on my pillow, I am bombarded with the ideas I wasn't able to translate into concrete, tangible art works during the day. And I love it! As long as I can remember I've loved the process of creating.

I was first a writer. The sounds of words delighted me. The way they feel and work together as you join them up, taking them from a tangled jumble of vowels and consonants into coherent thoughts that create a feeling, or evoke an emotion in the reader, started me early on the path to creative endeavors. And from there, I picked up a paint bursh and discovered the wonder of turning nothing into something. Transposing a blank canvas to a unique work of art.

Graphic design seemed such a natural extension of that early artwork. It enabled me to put together both the artistic side and the writer in me. I am able to write the copy for my clients, crafting the words and the pictures to tell the whole story. After that, I ventured into photography, delighted with the way I could capture images that I could use in my graphic design.

Over the years I created gifts from my heart for family and friends. After much prompting I started to sell some items as gifts and collectibles. My art is a piece of me, becoming my "baby" and is very personal.

Taking a small piece of our lives today and holding them in our hands tomorrow, and all the tomorrows to come — letting future generations have a glimpse of who we were and how much we loved each other. That's what I hope my art will do.

If you should have any questions, or would like to reach me to create an original design or writing project for you, please let me know. I can be reached via email at:
