Art has always been a part of my life. I loved creating caricatures of my friends, doodling whatever ridiculous idea that popped into my head, and experimenting with new techniques and styles. But prior to my life of being a full-time artist, I was lots of other things. I was an honor student nerd in high school, I majored in English in college, and then for the next 12 years I was a middle school history teacher. However, in 2021, my life took a turn which ultimately allowed me to step away from being an educator and explore paper art and design full time. While I have no formal training in art, graphic illustration, or business (which have all proven to be more challenging than I had expected), I have enjoyed making new things and making new connections every day.
Every
October I like to make Halloween-related paper pieces. I also love having a theme when I’m creating paper series. In the past, witches were always my favorite characters, so last year, I decided that I would make October the season of the witch.
