I can often be found torturing myself over the quirks which seem to set me apart from the rest of the "normal" daylight-hours crowd ... too many interests ... too many supplies and tools and picking up too many treasures to take home and make something with ... too many little piles of papers and discoveries (did you know that after one month of not looking in a pile of paperwork, you're allowed to throw it away? it's true! ;) ... taking on too many projects ... eating way too many Hershey's kisses and not enough dinner and staying up far too late through the night entertaining a zillion different ideas all at the same time, happily making and doing and creating and never being quite done. I'm never truly finished, even when the so-called "end" comes. There's always more to do ... more jewelry to be made ... more things to discover ... more to play with ... more adventures to be had just over the horizon ... and then over that horizon ... and then over that one too. I've seen more than my share of sunrises.

So this is me :: drawing + crafting + photographing + painting + teaching + writing + designing + discovering + laughing + trying to learn not to be too hard on myself :: enthusiastically creating all sorts of things during most of my waking hours and many of my sleeping hours too.

Thank you for taking an interest in my art and taking the time to get to know me a bit. I hope to do the same for you someday soon.
