As far as I can remember, I have been crafting, creating and doing art in one form or another. Born and raised in Southern California, the mother of four grown daughters and a grandmother to four, I am a freelance designer and wedding florist these days. I consider myself to be an “eclectic artist”, dabbling in floral arranging, party décor, paper crafting, photography, mixed-media, painting, calligraphy, and everything in between. I have been featured in Somerset Studios, Apronology, Crafts,etc., Where Women Cook and most recently, Where Women Create magazines. A “Trendsetter” Columnist for StencilGirl®, I also have an online video course, “The Art of Cardmaking that showcases card making from a mixed media perspective. Hero Arts and Tim Holtz are also places I like to hang out as a creative team member/maker. My free time is spent “junkin”, traveling, seeing my girls, sons in love, and grands.
