Statement

I am a mixed media artist, jewelry creator, author, and wife, mom and business owner! I feel that I have a personal vision that allows me to utilize my gifts and talents in the most creative of ways. I transfer many elements of my dreams directly to canvas, or whatever other media strikes my fancy! I love and appreciate cultural differences in the world, and that directly translates into my works. My mix of technique, quality, and attention to detail still allows my creativity to shine through. For me, creating my art empire to bring my works to the public is a dream come true; allow me to share my creativity with you!
