I enjoy experimenting with many types of mixed media to create unique, textured/dimensional layouts, embellishments, jewelry, home decor items, wearable fashion and more. My motto is "Dare to be Different." My style is diverse, and I am always seeking new opportunities to share my creative abilities and work with new products in unique ways. My first line of hand-drawn rubber stamps premiered in 2006 at TheStampingStudio.com. Some samples of my artwork can be found at /gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=546.
