Art inspired by a lifetime of memories.

I grew up in Kenmore, Washington, back when Kenmore wasn't even officially a city—it didn't become one until 1998. It was a much smaller community then, and life just seemed a little simpler. We really did leave our doors unlocked, and I can still remember people riding their horses past our house and even seeing horses in the main part of town. Those memories are a big part of the inspiration behind many of my creations. Some come from my own childhood, while others are inspired by raising my three boys, who are now grown men, and by the joy of being a grandmother to five grandchildren. Life has given me so many memories to draw from—the silly moments that still make me laugh, the touching ones that stay in your heart, and all those ordinary little moments that somehow become some of our most treasured memories. That is what I try to capture in my artwork and greeting cards. The images and sentiments I create are inspired by real life, family, laughter, love, nostalgia, and all the emotions that are simply part of being human. I hope you enjoy these creations as much as I enjoy making them, along with the silly, funny, heartfelt, and sometimes sentimental messages inside. Maybe one of them will even bring back a magical memory of your own.
