Where I find inspiration
I am inspired by my family and my lifestyle. I am married and have five children. The children keep me busy all the time. They are constantly inspiring me with their energy and the way that they view the world. I am married to a very creative man who loves to write. His creative drive makes me want to create more and continue to learn and improve. My man does encourage and support my creative drive.
We live in a place where there are a lot of flowers, birds, and other critters around. The natural world around me inspires my art. I love sitting and hearing the birds and watching the changing scenery outside my door.
I am also inspired by my Catholic faith. Themes from my church come up in my work, especially in my art journal. I want to show my love of family and my love of Christ through my art.
I love texture which is apparent right away in a lot of my art. Two kinds of texture are actual and visual. Actual texture is the way that the piece feels. Is it rough, soft, smooth, bumpy, etc. I love to add papers, fabrics, ribbons, lace, wax, beads, and many other textural elements to my pieces to create actual texture. Layers of fabrics can add a lot of actual texture that invites the viewer to touch the piece. Visual texture is the pattern that you see. You don't feel a lot of texture, but you can see it. Using stencils with paint or sprays is a great way to get visual texture. Layers of paint and brush strokes also create visual texture. Most of my art uses both kinds of texture at the same time.
I love beautiful things that make me want to touch them. That is one of the reasons that I love to make art quilts. They appeal to both the eyes and hands. My art quilts are meant to be touched and enjoyed, not just looked at. I also love to add texture to my other art as well. My journal pages often include some kind of textural element. I add lace, fabric, and drywall tape to my pages along with the texture that you get from using tissue paper, paint, and gel medium. I don't usually smooth everything out on my pages, because I want to be able to feel the texture. I try to convey that texture through the photos that I take, but of course it is always easier to see in person.
I also love making wearable art because you guessed it, texture. When you have a bracelet or cuff on your arm that begs to be touched, it just lights up your whole day. Being able to see and touch a beautiful piece can help your whole day improve.
I want to appeal to all you art lovers out there that also love texture. I love to make art that you can enjoy visually and texturally. I love to satisfy the craving to touch art, not just stand behind a barrier and look.
I am also inspired by my love of science fiction and fantasy and my geeky side. I love to create make believe creatures and worlds too. It is just a fun place where I can get away from the problems in the real world and have some fun.

My Personal Credo
I aim to do my best to follow my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I want to be the person that He wants me to be and to care for all people, animals, and the earth in any way that I can. I want to live as a follower of Jesus and share His love with everyone that I come into contact with. Everything that I do should come through His filter. When I fail, which I will often, I will get up and try again. My true home is heaven and I am just here to do my best and live for Jesus. I will serve others and use my gifts to glorify God.
