I am a Surface Pattern Designer who has transplanted myself from Michigan to the small city mountains of Prescott, Arizona where I love the abundant sunshine, ponderosa pines and the occasional prickly pear cactus. I am inspired by nature, learning, and growing. I use my artistic abilities to create messages of encouragement for those who want to see the beauty in the world. I love learning and have dedicated myself to finding my own niche for Growing Joy Through Gifting as I go through my creative Journey.
