I've loved to craft and make things longer than I can remember. It started off as a hobby, which led to summer art classes for ceramics, jewelry making, and mixed media art as a child. By middle school, I'd really taken to drawing and was never happy than when I had paper and a drawing implement in hand, be it pencil, crayon, or "charcoal" made from a burnt stick at a campfire, haha.

After spending three years in college as a teaching major, I realized I was no longer doing any kind of art or crafting at all, and I was miserable. I switched my degree to drawing in 2010. Since then, I had to take several printmaking classes and and fell in love with it. That's when I started my narrative "Paper People" series. It's 2 years in the making now, I can't believe it! Eventually I would like to compile them into a book, but I'm sure that is a long way off.

For now, I'd really like to just get my work out in the world for other people to enjoy. = )
