Thanks for visiting!

I like to make stuff! I paint, draw, photograph, glue, sew and much more. The cocktail party description is that I'm a mixed media artist. However, in my studio you might find me sewing, quilting, embroidering, creating digital art, designing fabric, or working on a mixed media piece.

At my core, I'm a teacher. I love sharing what I know and  helping people gain skills and knowledge that enhance their lives. But here's a secret: I learn just as much from my students as they learn from me. 

I find my inspiration, my subjects, and many of  my materials in the natural world. In addition, I often up-cycle and re-purpose existing items into something new. Whether I'm creating a piece of art or sewing a new dress, nature-themes prevail.
