I’m going to put it right out there – I can’t draw. But I love to create! Which is probably what led me to pick up a camera in the first place. It was the first way I experienced being able to share my creative self through a form of art.
For years I dabbled in other types of art and crafts, until I recently stumbled upon book making, paper making and putting it all together through mixed media!
I make mixed media journals, books, and stand alone pieces – some just for me, and some for sale. I hope you enjoy my journey through art, inspired by nature.
