Creating art and crafting has been a casual yet necessary hobby of mine for most of my life. But it is in the sharing of my love of art with others that brings me the greatest joy!

It was not until about 10 years ago that I started to sell my creations (paper crafts, wood and paintings) at local craft fairs. As I was a full-time, stay-at-home mom until my youngest was 10 years old, I volunteered a lot of my time at the elementary school where my children attended as well as at our local churches in both the children's ministry (including painting wall murals to liven up the hallways and organizing craft projects for up to 40 children) and establishing a Banner Ministry enlisting the help of volunteers no matter their artistic talent.

Most recently, I devoted all of my time and energy into working as a Special Education Assistant which demanded creativity and artistic talent on the fly! Due to unforeseen circumstances, I felt it necessary to take a break from my role as an Education Assistant and reflect on what my passions in life really are. Exploring art with acrylic on canvas and creating with wood is the unequivocal answer! Once I made the decision to jump into my artistic career with both feet, along with the overwhelming encouragement of family and friends, I have been inundated with inspiration and requests! What a joy it is to be sharing my passion for art as a living!
