There is a young boy in Guatemala that we sponsor through Compassion International. We send a monthly contribution and also birthday/family Christmas gifts every year. We write letters back and forth..a beautiful way to stay in touch. He draws pictures for us and keeps us updated on his life. This correspondence has gone on for six years! Sales from my shop help support him with education through Compassion International. Such is my story, hoping to make a small difference in the life of a child.

The art journals and handcrafted papers part of my shop is for you. It is much easier to begin making art when you have a stash of items at your fingertips. My art journal kits are for inspiration and getting your mojo going! Little pieces of original artwork and ephemera to ignite creativity and help you access your creative intuition. These kits are a springboard for leaping into that beautiful zone. Instead of using your precious time to gather stuff for art journal pages, I have done the leg work and put it into a kit so you can use your time to create and tell your story! My art journals are spiral bound, easier to work in, and contain some hand painted pages by me and blank ones for you.

My mixed media art on canvas are full of color, texture, and text. I use gallery wrapped canvas so there is not a need for framing. Each one has a story and my hope is for the imagery to bring a sense of joy!
