| Introduction | I am a mixed media artist, jewelry maker. My teacher when I was young was my mom, arts & crafts were as essential to my childhood as reading. I love mixed media work, because there's no right/wrong way, just my way. I have had to learn with the jewelry and art to create from my heart, for me, not for others. I have learned through this process that many times what I create speaks to others as it does me. I love reading, absorbing, and learning from other artists. Never get enough. |
