I was trained in custom picture framing in 1986. I also did calligraphy as extra income; having learned it by self-teaching in the early eighties. I worked at two different frame companies in Colorado for a total of seven years and then decided I needed a break from retail and took an office position with a company that installed security systems. The change in occupation didn't feed my creative tendencies so after the birth of our baby, Cameron, I was able to stay home and be a creative mom! For the last five years I have enjoyed taking care of the house and our family which includes my two older boys.



I absolutely love framing! The feel and smell of cut woods and different types of paper are a passion of mine. Many times during the last five+ years I could be found roaming the aisles at Lowes and enjoying the wood smells while dreaming about how I could use a particular piece of hardware in framing or artwork. I also enjoy browsing at the art supply store and fawning over the handmade papers! I have had some fun making my own fancy papers such as marbled paper, hand-cast cotton rag paper, and papers made from odds and end scraps such as string, metallic thread, pieces of plastic, confetti, and even lint from the dryer! I use these papers in my calligraphy and in creating special matting for framing pieces in our shop.



There is something earthy and beautiful about using my hands and God-given creativity to 'clothe' a piece of artwork so that it displays "just right".
