More about me and my art for licensing

My use of my family's archives gives a whole new meaning to the word "vintage"! I come from a family of "savers". No one ever threw anything out! I create dimensional collages using papers like old family letters and my great-grandmother's diary entries. I also include buttons and rick-rack that once belonged to my grandmother. Flowers pressed from my grandfather's garden find their way into my designs. The common everyday items are worthless to other people, but have value to me. They belonged to people I love.

Working with my family's objects connects me to people. This process creates intimacy in my art. I have found that art buyers and customers alike, enjoy the connection I have to my unique working materials. People are reminded of their own relatives while learning my story.

Freedom of expression, and my love of color and pattern, brought me to licensing. After working for almost twenty years in the children's book business, I needed a new creative outlet. I always loved designing the decorative endpapers in the books but there were limitations. Now, I can unleash my love of design, color and pattern and not feel restricted by the parameters of a children's story.

I also rediscovered my love of sewing and found I enjoyed sewing with papers rather than fabrics. My paper collages are backed with a fabric canvas, then I hand-stitch the papers or sew them with my old sewing machine.
