In any situation I will always choose silliness and I wanted to celebrate that in this art journal page. I tried growing up at one point in my life and that was just too depressing so now I celebrate my inner child. I love sparkly stuff and I put Swarovski crystal in most of the jewelry I make and I have glitter glue that is just awesome.
My tip for the day – be silly! It helps to lighten your load and get your focus on more positive aspects of your life. Celebrate what you love in your art journal as a reminder. The first decision I made after being told I had a cancerous tumor was I was still going to be a positive as I could. I joked a lot about my cancer through out my treatment & stem cell transplant. It was so interesting to see people’s reaction and their discomfort in my making light of the situation.
It’s ok to be as light as you can be no matter what you are going through. Always be true to your need to process and grieve the situation, but there are times when you can see all the funny parts as well.

I grew up around art and my creative spirit has been nurtured throughout my life. I have always found arts & crafts to be fun, relaxing, and fulfilling.
I stumbled into making beaded jewelry in my 20's and I still love playing with beads. I’ve worked in two bead stores, taught jewelry classes for 8 years, and my jewelry has been in many galleries. I am a guest artist at the Fall Art Tour in Sauk County.
I used an altered book to rediscover who I am and the path I wanted to take when I though all was lost. I found that in fact, all was found and I returned to college to pursue the dream that was inside me—just waiting to be realized.
I am a graduate of Edgewood College with a BS in Art Therapy and minors in Art & Psychology. While in school I continued to work with people from all walks of life and abilities. I have such a great time working with people who are finding that they do beautiful work.
This lead me to continue my passion of sharing the fun, joy, and self discovery that art brings. I have drawn from my life experiences to create classes that are designed to focus on the fun that art brings.
