I cannot tell you how excited I am that you have found your way to my website. Like really, truly excited!  Now that you are here, feel free to look around at the unique things I have been working on lately. If you have something in mind and you do not see it here, please feel free to reach out to me by clicking on the Contact page or click on the Services page to find out how I handle special orders.

I have been creating for most of my life. The materials I have created with have changed over the years. But what I have learned is that as I change and grow, so do the things that I like to make. Most of my pieces are about making the viewer laugh or about inspiring girls to be their best selves.  When I create a piece, I am hoping you will see the whimsey or humor I am trying to communicate and will appreciate it like I do.  I am not going to lie – sometimes I am really sassy.  If you are willing to think it, I am likely the one who is going to say it - OUT LOUD!  That means that I am not for everyone. And you know what?  I am ok with that.  This means some of my pieces might be a little on the irreverent side, but that might be just what you need to give someone a laugh!

When creating inspiring pieces for young women, I am drawing on my 30 plus years of experience in education.  I am thinking about the lessons I wished I had learned when I was younger and the ones I’ve tried to teach my students and my Nieces.  My hope is that I inspire them to think differently about how to be a female in the 21st century, how to embrace their girl power and how to live their best life.

Thank you so much for finding my page and for reading a little about me and my art.  As an artist, it is my hope to provide you with uncommon items that are pretty at a fair price.  I believe in the power of humor and in inspiring others as I have been inspired.  If these are things you value too, I hope you will consider making a purchase, telling your friends about me or following me on Facebook and/or Instagram!
