A FEW THINGS ABOUT THE ARTIST

1. What do you do when you’re not making art? (Day job etc...).

I’m a stay at home mom of two little boys and a small business owner.

2. Why do you make art?

I love the idea of creating something that other people will get joy out of!

3. What inspires you?

My two baby boys inspire me everyday! There is nothing better than making my babies stuffed animals, blankets and stuff for their rooms and seeing their eyes light up with smiles on their faces. Seeing that light in other people is what it’s all about.

4. What/who are your influences?

There can be so much uncertainty and darkness in this world, when there needs to be more light and beauty. I want to be able to create art that reminds people of the beauty this world, and its people, have to offer.

5. If you could meet anyone dead or alive who would it be?

Bob Ross and Marilyn Monroe.
