INSTRUCTOR BIO

Growing up with a very creative mother and sisters meant that art and cooking projects were a constant in our home. When I declared, at 9 years old, that I wanted to learn to sew, my mom promptly sent me to the Singer sewing shop at the mall. One bungled tennis dress later, the foundation of my self-taught style and business was laid out.
The next layer would be added that same year, when I took art lessons at the Toledo Museum of Art where I learned my primary and secondary colors. The inklings of a business were planted! That lead to my whimsical style of painting, stitching, drawing & hand-cut wobbly designs.
As I go through my life, I appreciate more and more how to edit and make my life less complicated. I am getting back to basics and simplicity. I see objects in their simplest forms and my style is all about editing what I see down to recognizable images. I am simply striving for good design. In a world that can be so busy and overwhelming, I hope that my artworks are pleasing and joyful to look at.

I am inspired always by looking around me…the sidewalk cracks, the way old bricks lay out, the colors of tulips on a farm in the pacific northwest, the mountain scenery driving through the west, and any cows and horses that I see along the road on those trips.
