"All I want to do is create art! I am head-over-heels in love with using and crafting innovative artistic methods. I have always resisted rules, structure, and instructions and instead opt for the unknown and “let’s just see what happens!” I am fearless when it comes to new ways of expressing myself through art and am often seen searching for objects such as bottle caps, bolts, and wires to fashion into new experiments of color, texture, and meaning. I am a mama, grandma, swimmer, nature lover, Mexican food fanatic, and coffee enthusiast. My favorite phrase is “Seize the Day” and that I do! Look for me riding my bike all over town, walking the boardwalk at Boulevard Park, drinking coffee at Wood’s, attending performances at WWU, and shopping for local produce at the coop. I earned a Master of Fine Arts from Savannah College of Art and Design, a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education at Grand Canyon University, and an Associate Degree in Graphic Design at Yavapai College."
