Creative Goals:
My professional goal is to do freelance or assignment work for papercraft manufacturers and publications. I enjoy working with creative professionals in a non dramatic atmosphere. I enjoy the creative process and trying new techniques. I try to be inspiring to others as well.
My Style:
I am drawn to designs that pop and draw you in, so this is what I strive to create. I currently lean to the shabby chic, vintage feel in my work, which is something I have always enjoyed. I love distressing and combining elements in unexpected ways. I continually work to learn new techniques that stretch my abilities as an artist. One of my passions is handmade flowers, which you will often find on my work. I enjoy mixing handmade and manufacturer made embellishments.
I generally scrap 12x12, but have done some 8x8 work as well. I am passionate about paper projects (altering, home decor) of all types and cardmaking as well.
I enjoy using photography to capture regular, everyday moments. I feel these are lovely to illustrate all of the important memories of life. Stories are often told without staged, posed photographs, although these have their own place as well.
