I started drawing when I was a kid. Fast forward to an opportunity as a product designer with American Greetings. I realized my love for pattern and developing collections.

about the artist

My career has developed over 30 years, as a graphic designer for a newspaper in Fort Lauderdale, and graphic designer for a nationwide insurance company, to product designer for greeting cards, gift wrap, gift bags and the like. Life experiences and working with amazingly talented people have inspired my work ethic and intuition in creating art that stands out.

My inspiration comes from all over. Nature, fashion, home decor, and just getting out in the world will always provide some little gifts to motivate creativity. I love creating patterns and art with texture, unusual color and a bit of imperfection. Who needs perfection anyway? Each new project starts with it’s own persona, developing along to it’s final gorgeousness. And, that journey is so rewarding!
