~an artist/ crafter/ seamstress. I teach art and sewing classes at the Harvester building in Council Bluffs Iowa, run my 2 etsy shops, and help run my cities' Craft Mafia group. I love clothing design, jewelry, altered art, collage, photography, and love to work with my hands in general.

I get bored easily, but yet I have endless patience if I'm working on something I really care about. I use Christian references in my work when I can, and I love the rich symbolism and metaphors that I find in trees. I'm addicted to landscapes that feature clouds and land- wide open spaces with lots of blue and green. See my shop links below.
