About
the Artist
 Being
an artist is a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because...
well, it's cool to be able to create something from nothing.
To have the vision to take a blank canvas, or a pile of materials,
and transform it into something beautiful. And a curse because
you just... can't... stop! Even way back in high school...
my physics notebook is proof of that. There's nothing in there
about gravity, relativity, and other physic-sy stuff, but
it was chock full of doodles and caricatures of my teacher.
He wasn't too impressed. Neither was my mother when I got
my report card. So naturally, when it was time for college,
I didn't get that physics scholarship, and majored in art
instead. I
have over 20 years experience as a professional artist, working
in all mediums: oils and acrylics, sculpture, web design,
sewing, and print work.
I
grew up in a large family where we always had pets, from the
typical dogs, cats, hamsters and fish, to goats, chickens
and ducks. These animals have brought such joy to my life
that I want to be able to bring happiness to other people
who love their pets as much as I do.
We
were also a family that lived for Halloween. Every year, we'd
have the best costumes ever, thanks to Mom's great sewing
skills. Never anything store-bought. Under the influence of
countless horror, monster and ghost movies, not to mention
a near-addiction to the Addams Family, it's only natural
that I'm fascinated with witchcraft, the occult, and voodoo.
I have a flare for the dramatic, a love of pure cuteness,
a dollop of whimsy, and a touch of macabre.
I
currently live in the Pocono mountain region of Pennsylvania
with my husband, Fritz, our eight cats, and our one-eyed Pekingese,
Beavis.
