Create with Me
I am an Artist
The visual arts have always been my first and greatest love. Creating and viewing art is a deep source of joy and light for me. I create in many mediums, including photography, calligraphy, book arts, paper arts, origami, and jewelry. I often combine several of these in one piece. This page is where I will share my past and current projects, as well as links to other artists whose work I enjoy. I will update my blog as I add to this page, so I invite you to subscribe to my blog if you are interested in knowing about future updates.
