i grew up in a little town in northwest texas, and i had plenty of room to GROW in ways so necessary to nurture a creative soul. BUT, before i knew it, some of those little girl joys were packed away in “yesterday”.



in early 2006, i started making primitive folk art dolls which, i can see now, set the stage just perfectly for that little girl artist to wake up inside of me.

in february 2008, mixed media folk art painting grabbed a hold of me (see. told ya i'm from texas!), and i am thrilled about it. i especially love the fact that i'm able to express the beauty of my spiritual journey and ethnic heritage in ways i never dreamed.

a few of my favorite things ♥♥♥ paint on my hands, pretty paper, vintage “junk” canvases, ribbons & trims, acrylic paints, singing/songwriting, watercolor collage, encouragement from my little wild things, fabric, creating in the wee hours of the morning, music (folk, old R&B, classical, good ol’ gospel, jazz), vintage decor.

at 30-something, i can say without a doubt that i absolutely, positively love what i've been given to give away ~"ooo-dles of faith, hope & love...in living color"!
