Form of self expression to try and find something about myself I could like.

Any time I was lost, I dove into my art any way I could with any materials I could find.

Early uses of my art to create characters and decor whimsy

Using Prospect to create interior designs, fabrics and painted furniture styles I discovered were called " Shabby Chic"

This was an eyesore for many years after we put in French doors, there were 3 various levels of materials. It was ugly for about 15 years. A contractor friend taught me how to vinyl side it then I accented with my extra window mantels.

I used to dream of a shop as a little girl. Finally I got the chance to partner and do it. I painted furniture, designed the shop, displays, chose merchandise, did ads and marketing, more.

This was a huge building project I took on after I injured my knee in wrestling. I never built anything before.

I first won a design contest for the Revitalization of Thompsonville. Then used my talents for the community while I was suffering with other issues.
