I live my life as one giant mixed media experiment inspired by recycled materials, all things whimsical and the teachings of Wabi-Sabi: the art of imperfection. I believe creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes and that the art is learning which ones to keep. I have faith in the process of creativity to cultivate growth and a fresh perspective. I am a cheerleader of any creative avenue of expression and enjoy sharing my love of the process with others. I am grateful that my life has been one which allows me the freedom to create. My work is a daily practice and the process has been my greatest teacher. The pieces I create are inspired by personal stories and my connection with nature. I desire to spark your imagination, to encourage you to cultivate faith in your creative abilities... and to turn your heart into paper maché. Feel free to contact me if interested in any creative collaborations, commissions or questions. I have acquired a BA of fine art and 15 years experience teaching studio arts to all ages in a variety of settings such as after school programs, paint parties, workshops, summer camps and private lessons. Welcome!
