About Me:

I have always been an artist. I have always drawn, cut, pasted, painted, collected, sewn, written and dreamed. I have been driven by the question, “What if?” (and fighting against its archenemy, “That won’t work!”)

I also wear many other hats. Among other things, I am a sign language interpreter, an energy worker, a minister, a blogger, a wife to a wonderful and creative man, and a mother to two wild and amazing little girls. All of these roles shape and change and inform my art.

I am a 5th generation Oregonian. This lush and verdant environment is in my blood. I grew up in a valley surrounded by tree-covered hills and blessed with a great deal of rain. I memorized the names of flowers as a child. I picked basketsful of mushrooms in the damp woods and studied moss and built forts inside of blackberry thickets. After traveling the United States, I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

My work has appeared on the cover of the 2005 Quilting Arts Calender, in Artella Magazine, Art/Quilt Magazine, Fiberarts Design Book 6, as well as many juried shows.

I plan on building a lightbox this week so I can take better detail shots. It is especially helpful for shooting pictures of jewelry and other shiny things that typically are difficult to photograph. If you do

Obsessive Much?

I can definitely feel myself in the throws of a new obsession with this Etsy business. I spend so much time on the computer, I barely get anything else accomplished! There's just this whole new world of social networking and pictures to upload and fun sites to peruse. Whew!

Feels like when I discovered Yahoo groups years ago and signed up for about 30 of them. I obsessively checked my email about a zillion times a day for quite a while. I have whittled it down a little since then to a

Etsy Has Eaten My Brain!

Wow! I finally signed up for an Etsy shop this weekend. Not sure why I resisted for so long. Maybe because I felt guilty about my languishing website that I never seem to get up.

It couldn't be more simple to get a storefront set up and list items. I'm having lots of fun! I even joined a Street Team called EarthPath Artisans (E.A.S.T.) that is really awesome. Street Teams help promote each other and network. I'm also going to join the Etsy Bloggers Team. There are so many amazing artis
