About

  • What my work bench usually looks like!
  • This is what I do in my spare time! I am lucky enough to live close to a lake. :-)
  • The beach is one of my favorite places to travel! I've been to beaches all over California, the Caribbean, and Hawaii.
  • My favorite place! This is where I sit and plan everything. I made the curtains and painted the desk.
  • This tiny sailboat painting I did sits on a shelf above my work desk. I love sailboats!

You can never own too many notebooks!

I live on the outskirts of San Antonio, Texas, where we sip sweet tea and mint juleps while listening to the song of the cicadas and the cooing of the mourning doves. The sky is big and the sun streams into my work area where Frank Sinatra croons and Glenn Miller swings. I am lucky enough to live near a lake where I can go kayaking or sit on the dock and enjoy the view. I love to travel but I have found my forever home here in the heart of Texas. And it's true what they say, the stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas! ☆☆☆

I am a multitalented self taught artist in the book arts, calligraphy, painting, leatherwork, and printmaking and I incorporate it all into my work. I make books, leather journals, and other leather goods. I am the sole artisan in my studio and I hope to share my love of books with you.

For my journals, I use fine American made writing paper, both Crane's and Strathmore as well as vintage ephemera. In my family we have a saying "You can never have too many notebooks!", and I believe this is true. All of human history has been recorded in the equivalent of a notebook. You need one too so you can document your contribution to humanity. :)

I love working with leather, which is a material that has been used throughout all of history for durable, lasting quality. Over the years, I have studied the techniques of the world's finest leather goods makers, and have sought to create quality leather goods on a smaller scale.

My work has been featured on Design*Sponge, the Nate Berkus show, CountryLiving.com and the Huffington Post.
