My love of color

My art studies began in oil painting, and ended with making handmade papers with leafs and grasses. I found I love everything creative. I experience the same natural inspirations when I paint, make paper botanic, woodwork or make jewelry.

I've retired from my job of 18 years in a marketing creative department. Now I work on my own creative business, creating items for others who share the same love of nature, texture and colors that I do. My husband supports and inspires me, and I wouldn't be able to do this without his support.

I try to include efforts to sustain the world around me whenever I can. I do this by up-cycling, and recycling materials that might other wise end up in a landfill, and also by working with Eco-friendly resources. And I believe we need to sustain our communities with volunteerism and donations whenever possible.
