I am mixed media artist working in paper and cloth. My background includes degrees in Graphic Design and Asian Studies, and my work history has been in graphic design and marketing (and a long time ago, an international flight attendant). In 1992, I began my fine arts career painting in watercolor, then morphed into collage and sewing on paper. By 1998, I was a full-time artist. In 2003 I began working with cloth and creating art quilts. Now my work is a combination of all that—watercolor, collage and cloth and combining them all. AND, living the artist life I was meant to live!
