She brought the unique look of fashion illustration to the craft world in 2008 when she was first published in a national craft magazine. Her first book, Collage Couture, was well received in the mixed-media craft arena. Since then, she has created a top-selling product line with Prima Marketing, featuring her whimsical illustrations. She holds mixed-media classes throughout the world. She resides in sunny southern California with her husband and two spoiled fur babies.
