As someone who loves art, I have always dabbled in it. I knew I may never be really good as I had so many other interests. I know I enjoyed painting watercolors, working with jewelry and landscape design/gardening. Living at the beach steered me towards coastal art and design, although I do love to work with other styles and mediums. Starting with note cards and then moving on to textile printing, I hand carved my initial designs and then taught myself to screen print. I also have a love of Art Nouveau jewelry and am now casting pieces from my antique collection.
