Line, color and form intrigue me.  Beautiful things touch me and whimsy makes me happy. That's why I fell in love with quilting 30+ years ago.  Over time I began looking for new ways to use fabric, introducing a harder edge, texture and more dimension to my work.  I started using fabric as the base of mixed-media collage.  The whimsy comes from embellishing​​with vibrant materials like crystals, cabochons, cording, beads, wire and found objects.

​My favorite things to collage are wooden boxes. Standing on round ball feet with black velvet interior, they are perfect for holding jewelry and other small treasures.  

Words of Wisdom are important reminders for many as they journey through life.  Having those words surrounded by original art may encourage one to hang it where it can be viewed and contemplated daily.

​I create my collages and ​ draw my Tangle Art designs for the sheer joy of working with shape, color, texture, motion and for finding and sharing inspiration.

​
Thank you for visiting my site.  I hope you find something here that speaks to your heart.

I once read:  "Creativity takes us to the heart of it all.
 When we create something, we touch the hand of God".  

​Perhaps that explains why I enjoy doing this work so very much.
