When it comes to appreciating art we are all different. I believe we grow and our taste palette becomes broadened as we are exposed to the art world I was a designer for many years and now I work as a mixed media artist and instructor. My passions range from textile, fiber, embroidery, paper, altered books, greeting cards and I can’t forget beads, beads, beads... My passions are like layers……and my art work is a reflection of this.
