I am a mixed media artist, instructor, designer, shopkeep, and author from New York City. I came to the world of art later in life, transitioning from a full-time career as a psychologist to being a full-time artist and maker. My artistic practice is based on the concepts of community and collaboration, and I believe in the power of art to bring people together. My work has been exhibited in multiple exhibitions and can be found in numerous books and national magazines. I have also published two books of my own, The Pulse of Mixed Media and The Mixed-Media Artist, with North Light Books. My love of the creative energy that occurs when artists are brought together has led me to spend a great deal of time teaching workshops - both online and in person across the world. As a designer, I have created collections with many companies over the years, currently collaborating with Aurifil, Sizzix, FreeSpirit Fabrics, StencilGirl Products, PaperArtsy, and WOW. Art for me is everything and sharing the process in all these different forms makes it even better.
My newest collection from FreeSpirit Fabrics - On Your Mark - is rolling out in shops worldwide and is NOW available for preorder here in my online shop. Shipping will begin in September. PLEASE NOTE that any current items placed in the same order as a preorder will be held and shipped together.
