About Me:

I've been creating various things and what nots for years....in kindergarten I would go to the craft center and glue ANYTHING in could find on to one piece of paper, take it home, take it apart and use the stuff I found for other projects. As a teenager I made punk style wrist cuffs, played with spikes and fau-leather and made purses out of bras. Now, as an adult, I am venturing further, learning new techniques, and seeing what doesn't and sometimes does work.
Creating is my passion. It took me a while to realize this. I guess I knew it when I was a kid (I used to tell my mom I wanted to be a 'starving artist' when I grew up) but it took all these years to rediscover that love.
Everything I create is done with love, curiosity and interest. No piece is less special to me than the next.
