I am an artist that uses recycled materials to create artwork. I love fiber (fabric, paper,yarns,natural materials etc...) and using it in many applications. I also love found objects, rescued items from the trash, yard sales,natural objects and distressed items.

Mom/Wife, work full time as a graphic designer, girl scout leader, too serious.

My favorite color is Orange. Leaning towards turquoise.

I don't like cutsy. I love handmade items whatever they may be. Cloth, yarn, old trinkets, ephemera. I also like rusty washers or metal for that fact, found items on the side of the road that have been weather beaten. I am also experimenting with embossing powders.
Nature has a strong hold on me and I always go back to my roots. Shells, leaves, stones, would love to find ginko leaves to put in my collages.
