I was born in 1963 in Manchester, New Hampshire. I lived there all of my life until 2005 when my husband and I moved to Florida. I am a self-taught artist. My specialty is pen and ink, pencil and colored pencil drawings but I have been experimenting in other mediums.
I try to challenge myself with every piece I do. I don't have any meaning behind my work, I do it because it helps me to relieve stress, it relaxes me and it gives me a sense of peacefulness.

I love looking through art books and travel books. I can find some nice photos from places I probably will never see. Well, never is a long time. I do all of my work from photos, some are ones I have taken, some are not.
I also started doing greeting cards a couple of years ago. I only do Christmas cards and I do a combination of different mediums, watercolor, pen and ink, colored pencil and acrylics. I just added my first "adult themed" greeting card with more to come. I only have 1 box of each of the cards I am selling right now because I wanted to get a feel for the market first. If I get a big enough response I will do more.
You may notice, the dates on my pieces are from 2005 - later. I stopped drawing from 2000-2005 for personal reasons and when my husband Wayne and I decided to make our move to Florida, I sold all of my work and donated what I could not sell. When we moved here I started from scratch. I really missed drawing and felt it was time to get back into it again. In 2007 I started a "Small Business Owner" course in which I just completed. I am back to drawing and selling my work and I hope one day I will have a small business of my own, something art related. My dream business is to either open a gallery or start a mail order catalog selling art that inspires and empowers women, whether it be through paintings, jewelry, pottery etc. The art that I will be creating in the future will hopefully do that.
I am very happy to be part of the Boundlessgallery family, and I look forward to creating more pieces to sell and I look forward to doing some custom work as well. [
