Childhood is a unique and special time for creative activity.

Many established artists including Pablo Picasso  have spoken passionately about the childlike mindset of true expression–free of pre-conceptions and expectations, children enjoy a unique perspective when it comes making art.

The joy of art in its’ purest form.

I have always been a creative thinker which lured me into the arts at a young age. I have explored many forms of art  from woodworking to jewelry to textiles and more. I have a BFA in fine art with a concentration in light metals from the Boston Museum School. I studied art history at Oxford University and traveled with the Parsons School of Art and Design to Africa to learn indigo fabric dying, lost wax, traditional  jewelry making and pottery. While living in In San Francisco I studied textile  design while managing  screen printing shops for over 10 years. Six years ago I relocated to Austin with my husband and two children where I got busy right away selling printed and embellished baby clothing in some of Austin’s local boutiques. Gradually things led me into an art instruction position at Primavera Montessori teaching  k  - 2 grade. I offer summer classes in my home studio. In my spare time I make art of my own. My recent works are original prints made mostly from recycled materials. You can view my works in the Art section of this blog.

I enjoy bringing art to children in a natural way. Using proper materials in combination with clear demonstrations of various traditional art processes I try to educate and inspire the kids in a fun environment.
