My Artistic Journey


As a lifelong artist creativity & inspiration have long been my bedfellows.  I knew from an early age that expressing myself creatively was not an option but a necessity.  At first however it seemed not to be as I tried to move into creative exploits and was strongly discouraged from making by someone close to me, ironically enough an artist themselves.  Fortunately for me I was drawn back into creating in college and I've been making since!

Read on to see about my journey into each medium + samples of my work!

Fiber Arts


The informal start of my foray into art began here.  Growing up in a needlework shop embroidery was one of the first things to which I was exposed.  Needlepoint & cross stitch in particular.  Crochet came next, though I resisted knitting for a long time (convinced like many it was too difficult.)

Two Dimensional Arts


Two dimensional art was among the first type of art I was able to get into.  At first starting with sketching, inks, & colored pencils...moving on to painting during high school.  Since then I took a break and finally came back to painting in the Summer of 2016 beginning with watercolors and moving into acrylics again in Autumn of 2017.

Jewelry Making


Third among the artist I got into was making jewelry.  I recall a gift involving beading to make replicas of Egyptian style collar necklaces.  And before that I focused on macrame.  It has remained to this day one of my favorite mediums (any & all forms of jewelry making) for this quickness of creation.

Stained Glass

Picture

Among the last of things for me to come to, well into my artistic career, was stained glass.  I had the good fortune to have a mother & family friend who both were into doing such work.  After my mother's passing I acquired most all of her stained glass & tools.


As an artist the physical figures into my life and the lives of those I work with often.  I appreciate the talismanic nature of the physical, the visual, & textures.  It's my aim to create treasures that anchor you into the feelings and experiences that you desire to bring into & keep your life.

To bring myth, meaning, & magick into your everyday life
with intuition, art, & energy work.
