As a child, I always loved art! My "earliest" memory was coloring the floor in Kindergarten when I was supposed to be resting on my mat. I have a degree in Phys. Ed, but in 1980 I started my "real" ART journey when I first took a calligraphy class. I started a part-time calligraphy business while staying at home and raising our two daughters in south Alabama. In the late 80's I was founder and editor of "Inkers Online" a calligraphy guild through Prodigy Online Service (my first experience with computers) and then soon discovered rubberstamping! I was actively involved in a Christian "card ministry" for 3 years, which gave me another opportunity to grow in my faith and to teach classes in my home studio. Nine years ago, I discovered a whole new passion for "altered" art, beading, photography, heritage scrapbooking, & mixed-media and digital collage. As you can tell from the various albums below, I love trying NEW techniques and especially love taking unusual items such as game pieces and formica tile samples and creating new works of art. I love to share my knowledge and my art stash with others as well. When I'm not creating, sharing or selling my ART, I'm spending time with family, boating, reading, listening to music, hanging out with friends, taking collage/ART classes, and attending LIVE music concerts with Taylor Hicks, Buddy Guy, Warren Haynes, Keb Mo, Widespread Panic, The Swell Season, Michael Grimm, Michael Buble, and Alison Krauss and Union Station. Music is an integral part of my life as with art. Enjoy!
