I view my life as a tapestry. Each life experience is woven in various colors, different weights, and changes in direction. Creativity has woven its pattern throughout, informing and interacting with other patterns fluidly.
Creativity began at a young age. The pattern grew more intricate with a formal fine arts education that challenged my process, craft, ego, and aesthetic that resulted in a BFA in graphic design. The vivacity of these details grew steadily through a 14-year career as an in-house designer, agency designer, design educator, studio designer, entrepreneur, and freelance designer. The intricacy grew when I began exhibiting and selling my artworks. A vivid weaving of ability, community, passion, and responsibility formed.
Six years ago I shifted focus to parenthood in a new country. My husband and I moved from the US to the UK in 2015. We created two of my best works yet: two lively, independent daughters. The decision to shift was difficult but necessary to accomplish an important personal goal of raising my children until school-age. I'm proud that goal has nearly been reached.
Even amidst the new focus, new accomplishments were woven, such as becoming a freelance designer and the launch of my Art Shop. But now the Art + Design pattern fervently and joyously built is being reignited. While the final picture remains unknown, I trust my resolve will create the best experiences and land the right opportunities, ensuring my tapestry will depict an intricate life of adventure, contentment, passion, and pure joy of the weaving process.
