I've always been an artist and have done murals, faux finishes, portraits, etc. I'm new to ATC's and find I really like the challenge of working so small with the added bonus of sharing artwork with others. I'm new to Groups and Swaps but think it's just what I need right now to motivate me to do my own work. My real job is at a college in Chicago as Fashion Studio Manager and Adjunct Faculty in the Art & Design department. I have a husband, five sisters, my mom and 12 nieces/nephews who all encourage and inspire me.

Leonardo daVinci, John Singer Sargent (artist), Chicago and New York, uneven numbers, controlled clutter, vintage 50's fabrics, colors, designs. fall and winter. pizza, coca-cola, chocolate, cats, birds/owls, lions Barbie (vintage) and Tinkerbell (anything Disney), knitting, drawing, wandering through antique/thrift stores, flea markets, bookstores and Walgreens, buying fashion, interior, craft magazines and then cutting them all up, my iphone, my mac computer, my extra bedroom studio space
