I am interested in contributing fun and innovative projects to a variety of national arts & crafts magazines. In addition, I am seeking to join manufacturer design teams to produce creative samples to be used for product marketing and advertising. I am enthusiastic, committed, and work well under time constraints.

I specialize in cardmaking, rubber stamping, paper crafting, encaustic painting, altered art, metal embossing, and polymer clay. My style is eclectic and I enjoy using a variety of products and techniques for my projects.
