My first love of color and design probably comes from my grandmother. As a child, I spent many hours tending her flower garden, arranging and exhibiting flowers at the local garden club. Regardless of my choice of media I’m still drawn to colorful, organic forms. Although not formally trained, I am constantly exploring new ways to express myself, taking art classes, reading, videos….all with a purpose: to express what dwells within me, to release the joy found in creating and share that with others.
