From an early age I always said I was going to be an artist when I grew up. I am an artist, does that mean I'm also grown up? I suppose so. My husband, Sean is my high school sweetheart. He and I began dating my senior year in 1999, and have been together ever since. He is very supportive of my artistic whims and fancies, and encourages me to follow my dream.  Aside from being an artist, I knew I wanted to be able to stay home and raise children, Sean and I welcomed our son, Cornelius "Neil" into the world on February 2, 2009.

I didn't have any "formal" training in art, I've taken workshops and classes here and there but a majority of my artistic ability I credit to the matriarchal line in my family. My great grandmother, who was with us until 2006 was an artist - painted, sculpted, sewed. My grandmother does oil paintings and sews, and mymother sewed all my clothes and stuffed animals when I was little,  she is a song writer as well and and is extremely musically inclined.  I think growing up around that much artistic ability has forged an artist in me that could not have been attained otherwise.

I like to think my influence is whimsical folk, hippy styles. I always say that I am a flower child born 20 years too late.  My style is hard to categorize beyond whimsical, my style is my own. I am inspired by my creative family, friends, and music. I do what I can to embrace my imagination, and aspire to my dreams. I am living my passion, my family - and my art.

A New Jersey girl, straight forward, not into drama or immaturity. I like to look at things from the "in the long run" perspective rather than being impulsive. Always been a free thinker, I'm rather independent, and intensely loyal. I love my family, and I have a handful of close friends that I can spill my guts to.  All this makes me quite content!
