"Ever since I was a little girl,  I’ve always loved to create, draw, paint and stitch, and I knew I would be a graphic designer.  Since graduating from Iowa State University with a degree in Fine Art and Graphic Design, I’ve lived and worked in Dallas, Minneapolis, and Siesta Key, Florida, with clients from all over the world.  These days, I live in Galena, Illinois with my hubby and muse - our Jack Russell Terrier named Pearl Button. For me, creating is like breathing - I simply do it.   My mission is to continue making art that reflects my core belief - that all great things are possible.
