About Me

In my mid-40’s I set out to find my creative life. That was 2012. I began with photography because exploring the land around me with a camera in hand seemed romantic and empowering, and it was.

What surprised me was that I also had a talent for writing. I guess that Young Authors contest I won in 3rd Grade wasn’t a fluke.

I began a blog called Paisley Rain Boots mid-2012. It allowed me to develop my photography and my writing. I was published in the Spring 2016 issue of Artful Blogging and the fall issue Somerset Studio in 2017.

Mixed Media painting began in early 2020, I sought a new way to tell the story. 2021 and 2022 saw fruitful frustration and development. 2023 has seen a deeper exploration into the places of my heart.
