As an artist for the last twenty years, I believe that if my hands aren’t stained from paint
then I wasn’t having fun enough! My twin sister introduced me into scrapbooking and
stamping twelve years ago. I kept my feet grounded and refused to take the plunge
that she had. I held tight onto my canvas, paint brushes, and acrylics and watched as
she continued to write and tell me about her new passion.

A year later I walked into a scrapbook store, fell in love with paper, and I dropped
my art supplies thinking that I was to never to look at them again. It wasn’t
until altered books and mixed media came into the Northwest that I began to
realize that my first love for paint and canvas could be used with scrapbooking!
Scrapbooking then became more of an artistic way for me to tell my story than
just photos on a page to document an event.

I have a passion for color; reduce, reusing, and recycling items to make them
new again; and ultimately having fun and making a mess doing it! I am right
brained and love using nontraditional items to create meaningful pieces of art,
while also trying to balance myself occasionally with a surprisingly clean and
organized layout.

My supportive husband and I have our own photography business, in Oregon,
where we are blessed to help capture memories for others to treasure.
