Crafting stories in paper…

I’ve been crafting stories in paper all my life through writing and art. I taught art classes throughout my 20s and 30s and belonged to the Amaryllis Artist Guild in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada for many years.

My art ranges from freeform wire sculptures and jewelry to paper crafts, clay, and painting. I worked with Justina McCaffrey Bridal Designs in the late 1990s and early 2000s and created tiaras and other types of bridal jewelry for her collections. I moved to Asia in 2003. The disabiling diseases that I live with have forced me to slow down, focus on the things I can still do, and best of all, they've made me realize that art and writing are huge passions that deserve my attention, not only because they reflect who I am, but also because the act of creating is a coping technique that allows me to escape from the Kingdom of the Sick for hours each day.

Art has always been at the heart and soul of what I do. I hope you see my passion for it reflected here.
