Columbia, SC: dspaperstudio@aol.com
Objective: My passion is to create and share the passion for paper art and crafting.
Styles and Techniques: I was told once to find "my style" and stick to it. The problem with that is that I enjoy all styles. I enjoy simple and clean, heritage, distressed art, collage styles well as creating something lively for my children. I find it challenging to create scrapbook pages and incorporate those "altered art" products and use them on a simple scrapbook page. I continue to grow and want to be challenged artistically.
