Description
My creative side began about 14 years ago, when my Sisters' and I started cutting up calendars and decoupage flower pots and making fabric greeting cards and it took off from there. I began exploring art and it has not stopped since. It's been a part of who I am. I think it's in my blood. My Mother was very Artistic, she would sit in her chair and sketch, needlepoint and knit. She also created TEN children (no small feat)! I have a sister, Deb in California who paints murals and builds wood decor items, another, Mari Anne who does One Stroke painting and another, Barb who is my Jewelry Designer. I have a sister in law, Jeannie who is a lifetime Art student and incredibly talented and her daughter Tricia who is also extremely talented. So I think ART runs through my veins.
At this stage in my life I am a wife to a very talented and supportive husband Paul, and a mother to my incredible son Bryan and step mom to a beautiful daughter Erica. We live in paradise, Sarasota, Florida. I began this company as a way to supplement our income and support my addiction to Art supplies.
By day I teach private classes in my studio and run my Bookkeeping Company. By Night you can find me in my studio creating . I like sharing my work with others and hope I inspire them in some way.
