ARTthroughGRIEF was started after the death of my mother July, 2012.
My mother taught me everything I know about making Art and expressing myself through crafting and making memorable keepsakes.
Since my mother's death creating Art has been the only way to work through my grief and help heal the hole in my heart.
Each day it get's a little easier. I love making Art and making keepsakes for others to enjoy and cherish.
As a philosophy, if we support our artisans over corporate, mechanized production, we are enriched beyond the object in our hands.
