The Past. . .the Present. . .

When I was seven, I created my first collection - a bunch of exquisitely colored birds (colored pencil on fancy old school notebook paper - HA!). In the fourth grade, I made a Mother’s Day card that inspired greeting card creations of various types for years - everything from Christmas to Easter, Book Lovers Day to Buy a Musical Instrument Day. There hasn’t been a day that I haven’t created something.

I grew up in rural west Alabama, but in the first year of our marriage, my husband and I fell in love with East Texas. We live in the country where time saunters a little more smoothly and easily than in the city. The way the green fields meet the blue skies to form the horizon has made me stop and take note of every sunrise and every sunset.

I am self represented and everything I sell online ships directly from my home studio.
