About Me |
My husband and I live in the beautiful State of Wisconsin. We enjoy our lovely family, and working together on a new home we just built by the water. We enjoy the gorgeous view, which offers great art resource material.
An Artist ... this is what I am. I live, breathe and dream art. Watercolor is my main passion. I also love to write verses, or prose poetry. I love to 'personify' nature with my verses. These forms of art are my way of expressing what is deep down in my heart and soul...they tell who I am, what I am, and what I feel.
In 1997 I discovered Rubber Stamping, and was immediately hooked. It is most satisfying to me to be able to combine Rubber Stamping with my favorite medium, watercolor. Scenery stamping is my very favorite, but I also love collage, floral, ATCs, and photo-style art. Other mediums I enjoy are pastels (both chalk and oil), Prismacolors and Radiant Pearls.
So join me on my journey, into the "Land of Possibilities" I hope you enjoy my art. Please let me know what you think, and Thank You for looking!

Favorite Quote:
"It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see.
The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it."
Anais Nin

Rules I live by:
"To thine own self be true." Act with love.
Always do my best, putting one foot ahead of the other, always doing the next best thing.

I love my family dearly. Other than art and writing, I love nature. Watercolor is my passion, and I love rubber stamping. My favorite tree in the whole world is the White Pine. While I appreciate the ocean's beauty I mostly love the "forest primeval" and mountains, lakes and rivers. Wildlife.
I enjoy reading, ballet, sewing, crochet and knitting. I enjoy working on our new home with my husband, and also enjoy going to the lake. |
