Since I was very young I always loved reading, writing, drawing, animals and nature. I never imagined that my love would eventually become my profession, and I am so grateful that it has happened that way.
I have been both formally and informally taught as well as self taught. I have gained much strength, support and inspiration from all the talented and colorful people in my life. I hope you all know who you are! I have truly been blessed.
I became a stay-at-home mom in 1999 when I became pregnant with our daughter Mary. This wasn't an easy decision for me at first being the independent woman I am. However, it quickly became my greatest gift and joy.
When I tried to return to the workforce, I realized how empty I felt. I missed being home when my daughter bounced off the bus. So with my husband's love and support the seed of the Green Gourd was planted.
I am now a freelance artist, which gives me more time to be with my family and work on whatever creative inspiration I may have. Because of the freedom of freelancing, my life today is like a garden and in it grows an abundance of God's grace.
My husband, Bill and I have collaborated on many projects. He is a talented artist and he has created many works of art in both wood and metal.
