Thanks for stopping by! I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico where I am inspired by the beauty of our high desert mountains, the colors of our sunsets, and the ever present music and thoughts playing in my head.  I am a graduate of the University of New Mexico where I received a BA in Applied Math and an MA in Statistics. For me, there is a huge connection between math and art. The patterns, formulas, and rhythm that I found and loved in math can also be found in art. As a teenager I studied oil painting and creative writing. I felt math was the more practical route to a career, so that is the path I took for my academic life.  I spent fourteen years homeschooling my children, but returned to my artistic roots once they graduated.  I have taken many art classes through the years, focusing primarily on acrylic painting and mixed media techniques, book binding, and art journaling. I have been published in many independent zines, Somerset Studio Magazine, Somerset Studio Gallery, Vamp Stamp News, and am proud to be in the book, Creative Ways With Books and Journals. I enjoy selling my art locally where I can meet face to face with people who enjoy my creations. Please take some time to browse my website pages. I hope you enjoy your visit!
