A little bit about me!

I am a lifelong doodler. Some of my earliest memories are of drawing with a Sharpie marker on paper. I still have the clipboard my Dad gave me to prevent my ruining the furniture when the marker bled through the paper.

I doodled all through school in the margins of my notes, and the covers of my notebooks. I still doodle when I'm on the phone or watching TV.

My parents encouraged my creativity by giving me supplies and the freedom to make whatever I wanted to. I believe this is how I developed my unique style.

Getting to observe my Dad in his creative pursuits inspired me as well. He had a darkroom where he developed his own black & white photographs. He retouched photos with an airbrush, painted and did woodworking.

He always let my brother and I hang around to watch him work, and the best part was getting to use some of his supplies to make our own creations!




As an adult I became fascinated with Christmas Ornaments.
My husband's Mother is a long time collector of hand crafted ornaments and started giving me a new ornament each Christmas before we got married.

By the time we had a tree of our own, I had my own collection to display! All the different types of ornaments really sparked my imagination. I just had to make my own!

This inspired me to learn how to recreate my own drawings as painted ornament designs. I am a self taught painter, learning techniques from magazines, books, other artists I've met in online groups and through my own experimentation.





I am a member of The Society of Decorative Painters, and I paint paper mache' boxes for the Memory Box Artist's Program.








Every ornament I make is a unique little piece of art that will become a part of your holiday traditions for years to come!
