I have worked with paper for a long time when Mom and I would make books when I was little. As I got older I started to enjoy interactive books. Later on a stationery started to cater to interactive journals and the rest is history. I make cards, buttons, journals, scrapbook journals, paper hair clips, and paper sculpture. I received an award for a tryptic piece about the pattern of life as shown by tiny handmade journals.

I also dabble with paint textures and patterns. Photography is one of my other passions. I've done an award for one of my pieces. Since I enjoy recycling, turning broken pieces of jewelry into a new piece is extremely satisfying. I write short stories as well.
