Introduction	I am a multi-media 3-D artist living in Western North Carolina. Ever since playing in my grandmother's button box as a child, I have delighted in color, shape, and texture. I grew up surrounded by my grandmother's and mother's needlework and handcrafts, and many of these pieces are in my home today. My mother taught me to embroider, knit, and sew before I entered high school. Spending time in Nature has also been a major influence on me. Nature "speaks" to me through Her seasons and creations, and most of my artwork is an attempt to represent Her beauty. Julia Cameron, in her book "The Artist's Way", stated that creativity is a connection to spirituality, and this is true for me. I love the process of creating even more than the product. I am thankful and privileged to participate in this process, and it brings me great joy. I believe that everyone should feel this joy of self-expression. That's why I have designed and facilitate playshops, so that participants can overcome self-limiting beliefs and dive deeply into their pool of inner creativity.
