As part of a group of artists forming a new place to chat and share their artwork, I’m sharing a quick bio. It’s an expansion of the bio here at this site…

I’ve been artsy all my life. As a young girl, I always had a sketch pad close by and spent a great deal of time drawing and, as a young adult, I continued to create in one medium or another.

In the 1990s I opened a decorative accessories store and expanded my love of gardening into stunning large dried flower arrangements for the shop. As an artist, I’m mostly self-taught although I have taken advantage of art instruction along the way from drawing to watercolor to polymer clay to mixed media techniques and beyond.

For the past thirteen years, I’ve concentrated on assemblage wall art and three-dimensional collage and continue to take numerous art classes to refine my wall art. I find that my wall assemblages continue to evolve into new looks as I constantly look for new methods and materials to bring into my work. I have plans for another assemblage line which I’m presently developing that features all handmade elements from various materials.

Art is a large part of my life and I spend many hours each week in my “creative zone” wherein deep fulfillment lies and the outside world fades away. I’m living the dreams of that little girl with a sketch pad so many years ago.

Take the time to enjoy art – either by creating or admiring.
