About me

Location Davis, California
Introduction Over the last dozen years I have been discovering my creative side. In addition to describing myself as a mom, wife, librarian, feminist, humanitarian, and environmentalist; in my bolder moments I also whisper artist. My work has evolved from simple rubber stamping to mixed media with paper and fabric. I love learning (and making up) new techniques for making cards, ATC's, altered books and more. Since I have a very practical, down-to-earth side, I find it hard to make things that have no use whatsoever. Fortunately, "giving a gift" satisfies that need so I find that I pour much of my creativity into gifts for others. Sometimes I make things for myself (if I can justify it...)
