I'm a self taught artist that found my passion, mixed media art, when in my forties. I'm 54 now - started with making scrapbooks for my boys, moved on to making scrapbooks for clients, designing cards and finally, found mixed media and collage art. I simply adore creating - the only thing I love more than the actual creating is the junking, scrounging, antiquing and begging for objects to use in my art!

I'm a mother of three boys, ages 22, 21, and 17. I will have two in private college this fall and one will have just completed the police academy in San Angelo, Texas. We have a working ranch in the Hill Country of Texas about 45 minutes from San Antonio. I'm a christian first, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend and an artist. I simply love my life.
