Biography

... have been involved with various forms of decorating, design, artwork and handcrafting almost my entire life - beginning with drawing, watercolor and clay sculpture in my teen years. During college and afterwards, I eventually expanding to acrylic paintings, floral arts, home design, large scale wall murals and jewelry making. Love houses, architecture, gardening and interior design - have survived the process of new construction a total of four times, and completely designed the home where we now reside.

When my children were toddlers, I had a stay at home business and produced over 200 custom, hand painted renditions of private homes on slate tiles, and dozens of art murals. After moving to Minnesota, I spent a number of years assisting clients with interior and exterior selections for a small but extremely innovative (and nationally award winning) custom home builder.

When not completely engrossed with painting & note card making (or knee deep in beads, flowers or cooking projects), my free time is spent happily married to my very own Prince Charming, and living with our four quite delightful teenage children (well... most of the time!), two cats and a dog. We live together in a happy, albeit chaotic, household near the banks of the St. Croix River in the eastern suburbs of the Twin Cities, Minnesota.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you visit again soon!
