This is me! Working from my bedroom in front of a large open window on a sunny day. I can hear birds outside and running water from my aquariums as I try not to get distracted by my gardens. It's summertime. Schools out.

I've been an artist all my life. I've never strayed from collage and mixed media with early inspirations from Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. I enjoy small detailed drawings that are cut and pieced together in a larger work that comes to life by slapping paint, interweaving materials and lots of nature.

I see art in every thing, every day.

I'm a teacher assistant by day and the rest of the day I'm an artist, a cook, master gardener, animal lover, and mom. 💗
