My Newest Endeavour!

Thanks for stopping over to my blog!  I have been busybusybusy with tons of holiday shows (and finals) and I've had an amazing response to my work!  It feels incredible to sell my art to people who truly appreciate it.  The sense of satisfaction and accomplishment is like no other! 

Now I'm trying to reach even more people who love art and nature by placing an ad in Bust Magazine!!  But I can only do it with your help! 

Please go right now to my fundraiser project on Kickstarter!  You'll get to watch a video explaining what the project is about and how I am helping use the project to teach young girls about self-employment, self-sufficiency and empowerment! 

When I presented this project in my Girl Cultures class, there was a guy (head of the Communications Dept) waiting to interview me!  He even sent my video to one of the local newspapers!  I don't know where/if the stories will run yet but I'll let you know! 

Thanks for all your help and support so far!  Even a donation of $1 will help me reach my goal!  Thanks!!!!

Also, keep your eye on this page (by filling in your email address at the top of the page) for updates on when I put more items on my etsy site!  Last minute shopping is so much easier when it's done from your computer!

Welcome to my new blog!

Hey, thanks for visiting my new blog.  Please take a minute and click above to follow my posts via email!  I think that's how it works, at least!  I plan to use this page to let you know about the new things I've been making, the shows you can visit me at and many random thoughts along the way.

I greatly appreciate your interest and your support!  Paying (most of) my bills with my own art, with creations born within my heart, is such an incredible, inspiring and amazing feeling!  The conversations and feedback I have received through many of you at my shows has fueled me to keep creating and to follow my heart and my dreams!  Words cannot convey how lucky I feel.
