What I’m About:
I have always been creative. My childhood was filled with coloring books and tempera paint and my stuffed animals acting out the stories in my head. I was allowed to live in my imagination well beyond when many children were told to “grow up.”
Inspiration comes to me through the books I read and the people I meet, but mostly from the memories of my imaginary childhood world. Nature lends Her poetry to my soul in the sunlight filtering through leaves, misty mornings and rainbows following an afternoon thunderstorm.
My goal is to share the inspiration behind a piece of artwork, a story idea, a dream or anything else related to my creative world.
I hope my work connects with you.
Thanks so much for visiting!
