*my (little tiny) story…*I grew up gazing at the most amazing rolling wheat fields of the Washington Palouse,
in a town called Pullman. I attended Washington State University and earned a BFA in art (major in painting, minor in printmaking). At present, I find myself (happily) living in Pullman again (still gazing), only this time, accompanied by a family of my own making.
I spend my days working away in my studio and doing all kinds of cutting, pasting, and painting while listening to book after book on tape. I also love to listen to great music, watch a fantastic movie, read a good book, and to have a good laugh (not all at once, of course). Oh- and a nice walk now and again is also enjoyed, especially if there is a bird sighting or two.
Let me see… i am a full time illustrator, a full time mother, a full time wife. i love the sound of crunchy leaves, the smell of amber and sandalwood, and the sight of the ocean (which i live VERY far from). i love a sharp pencil, and a .005 black pen, i heart walnut ink, and japanese pen tips, OH and a new pad of paper, i love ANYTHING shiney or sparkly, and consider myself to be a bit of a crow in that way. Regarding my work …I love thinking about the things, words and experiences that fill us up — the thoughts in our heads as we move through our days. What stands behind us to make us who we are … our history, our future. Especially how things smash together to make new things (like an inaccurate memory). My artwork is based on these concepts.
