I’m inspired by people, by our animals (3 tabby cats & one energetic black lab), and deadlines, hahaha... Also by color, patterns in nature, change of seasons, light, photography, & fun art supplies! :-)

I grew up in Arizona and then transplanted to Minneapolis, Minnesota where I’ve been for the last 25 years. I love this city, the urban trail systems, and the arts here. And I’m learning to love the snow and work around the ice. Burrr

I enjoy working watercolors, pen, acrylics, ink, printmaking, alcohol ink, collage, and mixed media.

I also like to design and make hand carved stamps, prints, doodles, zentangles, ATCs, 5x7 art, 4 x6 postcards, greeting cards. I’d like to do more ATC coins too.

Postcard swaps: I like my postcards sent naked or wrapped if you’re giving them to me unwritten on. :-)

Extras: stickers, clipart, stamps, stamped images, patterned paper, handmade, painted paper, washi tape, ATC coin backgrounds, book page die-cuts, Fun decorative paper, stamps, artsy stamped images on paper, ephemera, watercolor paper, yupo paper for alcohol inks, handmade paper... I LOVE cats, coffee cups, hearts, positive mantras, quotes, words, flowers, fruit, garden veggies, nature, leaves, trees, camping, landscapes, houses, feathers, night sky, rainbows, rain, birds, ravens, doves, owls, woodland animals, ocean animals, rainforest animals, tropical animals, desert animals, mountains, succulents, native plants and animals to where you live, science stuff, astrology, stars and sun, moon, love, hearts with words, zentangles, doodles, reiki, chakras, rainbow, meditation, beaches, shells, sunsets, cactus, stones, crystals, love, & peaceful images. And most of all seeing whatever you’re into making & sharing. Thank you!!

If you’re sending consumables- I like dark chocolate, dark roast Starbucks instant coffee sticks, Nespresso (original) pods, Earl grey, chai, green tea (my daughters favorite is jasmine green), herbal teas- anything fun or mint, chamomile, and healing herbs (Tulsi/ holy basil & lemon balm being my favorites right now).
