I have worked in creative businesses my entire life, starting out making decorated cakes when I was in high school.

These days I create art; it isn’t just my business it’s my gift and my passion in life.

When creating a piece, I always have a starting point, but seldom an ending point. Beeswax is hard to tame, and sometimes takes me in directions I don’t expect. At the outset this can be frustrating, but it’s also where the magic happens. By letting go, I get results that are unplanned. I love getting lost in the texture, color palette or the image as it unfolds.

Others see me as a strong woman. And when you own one of my images, you are buying a little piece of my personality that is embedded in the beeswax. I love connecting to people through my work.  And I’m no longer surprised when collectors tell me what they see in my art that I never saw or imagined.

5 things I’m obsessed with:

• Starting my birthday with cake in bed.
• How things are made.
• Wholeheartedly finding my creative genius.
• Surrounding myself with things that energize me.
• Dogs.
