Bio

Thanks to my grandmother who did all types of needlework and my mom who made beautiful clothes not only for me but also for my dolls, I had a needle and thread in my hand as soon as I was old enough to grasp them without risk of serious bodily harm. From the first stamped cross stitch sampler that I sewed to my bathrobe while watching Saturday morning cartoons, I was hooked.

As I pursued my Interior Design degree at Purdue University, it was always the most purely art based requirements and electives that I truly enjoyed. Had I known then what I know now, having worked in Interior Design and more specifically, Kitchen and Bath Design, I might have changed my major to Fine Art.

But I believe that all of my experience to date has brought me to this moment. Without any single part of it, I might not be so certain that this is where I am supposed to be.

I grew up in Lafayette, Indiana, the sister city to Purdue’s West Lafayette. I live here today with my wonderful and supportive husband. Our daughter is in Indianapolis pursuing a degree in Art Education form the Herron School of Art and Design.
