I am a mixed media artist, photographer, and writer in Maryland.  I've been
married for 19 years and have twin teenage daughters attending Towson
University and one teenage son who is a sophomore in high school, three
cats and my Corgi!  

I have spent the past 29 years in photography and writing, the past 14 in
mixed media paper and fabric/fiber arts.

I have worked with photographs and the written word since high school.
Over the years I have learned to incorporate these mediums into my artistic
media. I have studied with nationally known mixed media artists and art
journalists. I taught scrap booking for several years, again combining the
photograph with the written word. I have been published in magazines,
books, art zines, blogs and more. Some of my art journaling writer’s prompts
were developed and sold as rubber stamps.  It is my desire to continue
publishing as well as teach using these mediums.
