There's a part of my soul in every piece. I invest so much time into it. The joy my work brings to others is validation of time well spent.

I make botanical art. I use real dried flowers and resin and create imagery in the form of a collage. I use something from nature to create limitless possibilities. Collage is my favorite type of art because it highlights the fact that there are a million things that come together to create the bigger picture. We are all a small part of something infinite.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature. My inspiration comes from the vibrant life found in a flower garden. The plants, animals, and insects that all work together to keep things blooming.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won the money I would use it to put a down payment on a house. Im widowed and unfortunately I wasnt able to keep our home after my husband passed away unexpectedly. It would be nice to have a place to put down roots again. And to have my own garden again. I had a beautiful flower garden. I would love to have that again. It was my happy place and also the inspiration for my work.
