Objective:
Presently I am pursuing online and manufacturer design opportunities, as well as print publications. I am interested in developing strong relationships in the scrapbooking industry, and sharing my creativity and passion for paper crafting with others.

Styles & Techniques:
I am a well rounded artist with over 20 years experience. I adore experimenting with new products and techniques. In addition to creating artistic and meaningful scrapbook layouts, I am very skilled at creating mini-albums, cards, tags and altered art. I am extremely hard working, loyal and dedicated in design opportunities.

My artwork is described as eclectic, artistic, consistent and focused.
