Interested in art from a young age, I credit my family for encouraging me to paint, draw, sculpt and develop my many artistic interests. These days, my hands are full keeping up with my 4 year old Chet and 2 year old Chloe. With the help of my husband, High School teacher Tony, I find time to paint, sculpt, sew and develop new designs at the computer. Having a family gives my heart a feeling of happiness which is then reflected in my art.

I have been a professional Graphic Designer for over 20 years. I have worked on packaging for Kroger, P&G, Style Guides for Target, Thomas Nelson Publishing and Women of Faith. As a licensed artist, my designs have appeared on familiar consumer products distributed to major retailers throughout the U.S. including Lowe’s, Kohl’s, Target, Michaels, and Hancock's Fabric.

With a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from Bowling Green State University, developing marketable collections is not just talent, but hard work and perseverance. I know how important it is to trust yourself and believe in your vision. My style brings a new fresh approach to familiar themes. From painting murals, to children's fabric prints and scrapbooking, my art ranges from home-friendly to elegant to whimsical. My Apple and Halloween collections are being introduced in Cracker Barrel stores across the country Summer and Fall of 2009. Look for sweet, caffeinated collections at Cracker Barrel in 2010!
