About Me

EXCITING UPDATE: I have just been asked to be a part of the Gel Press Team and I am thrilled!

I am a Mixed Media Artist who is fortunate enough to be able to create every day. And like most Artists, I create because I have to, you know, like breathing. And like most Mixed Media Artists, I create in MANY different mediums...and I'm a technique freak. So, that's why I decided to put my WHOLE mixed media life into one blog....it just made sense.

I have spent the majority of my adult life working as a Graphic Designer. I so enjoyed working in a team format with lots of other creatives. We all learned and grew creatively because of it.  I work from home now and I think that's why I enjoy the internet; it's a way to stay connected with other artists.

I have won awards for several of my Advertisements, and a first-place award for one of my Digital Mixed Media pieces, which I still love. In the past couple of years I have won 3 Honorable Mentions and was a Runner Up in the CitraSolv Art contests. I have entered more pieces in different venues and also hope to get published in the next year or so.

I am a Mom to a 31 year old who is getting married in October.....yay! I am married to a wonderful, supportive, fun guy. We have a mixed breed, rescued Shih Tzu who is high maintenance but brings SO much joy into our lives.
