I started drawing and painting at the age of 4 . I couldn't stay in the lines in the coloring books........so I started creating my own designs. I love working with mixed medias...experimenting as the vision takes shape and my muse takes over. Pen / Ink , watercolor, acrylics , batiks with dye , guoache with pencil or marker....to raku fired sculptures , cereamics , hand painted tile and marble murals,,,,to set design and faux finishes....anything I can touch....I create , carve , sculpt , develop into distintive woks of art.
I sold my textile prints to most of the major manufacturers on the west coast; My unique tile murals to major manufactuers as well as private clientele.
