My greatest hope is that I can bring happiness to whoever stumbles across my creations and artwork.

Illustration has always been a interest of mine.  I greatly admire the illustrations of Quentin Blake, Edward Gorey and Stephan Gammell. Someday, I would love to illustrate a children's book.

I currently work as a surface pattern designer for a children's clothing company.  In my free time, besides working on my own crafts and designs,  I help friends with little design projects including logo design and invitations. Visit my blog to see more of my arts & crafts and my gallery to see a sampling of photography, artwork, design.

Thank you for visiting!

My family moved to Vermont when I was very young. Growing up in Vermont's rich natural surroundings, gave me a special appreciation for nature, plants and animals, which greatly  inspire my photography, art and crafts. I love my pets deeply and I am thankful to be able to give rescued animals a loving home.  I deeply care about all that I create, from every photo that I take to every doodle in my sketch book.

Drawing and arts & crafts have always been a part of my life. My family and friends have always been there to support my creative habits... I enjoy working with my hands and am a very visual person.

At a young age my mother taught me how to sew and crochet, which I still enjoy along with knitting (as learned from my Grandmother). I enjoy many different mediums for creating, from pencil and paper, paint, photography, computer graphics, fabric and yarn. Using these mediums to capture my love of color, whimsy, fantasy, the strange and macabre, nature and cuteness.

I have  many different interests and hobbies. Recently, I have been focused on knitting, dying my own yarn, and fabric design. One of my great loves is surface pattern and illustration. I have been working on a serious of block prints for fabric along with digital art for surface pattern.
