I've been an artist all my life, even when I didn't think I was an artist. From a young age, I made things. I found it to be much more fun than just playing with my toys or dolls. I was adopted at 3 days old, and at 13 years old, found out that my birth mother was an artist...so I set out to be like her. My adopted father didn't think I would make it as an artist, and he convinced my to go to law school after obtaining my B.F.A. from Wesleyan College. I reluctantly agreed for a couple of months until I met my life partner, Danny. He and his wonderful family, convinced me that I should be an artist. So I left law school, got married, and started my dream of becoming an artist. I studied photography in college, and worked in Atlanta as an interior design photographer. After my son Luke was born, I stayed at home and started painting. Through the eyes of a child, I developed my passion for whimsical, fun art. When he went off to school, I opened two art galleries in the Atlanta area. I quickly learned that selling art in a brick and mortar location, and dealing with quirky creative types was more than I had planned for. So in 1997, I turned to the Internet for survival. I had to teach myself everything. It wasn't easy, but I soon learned that the Internet provided a much broader, buying customer base than could ever walk through the doors of the Atlanta galleries. In 2000, I closed the physical galleries, and began selling entirely on the Internet. In 2001, my daughter, Logan was born....and things haven't been the same since! A little girl...fairies...glitter...my gosh...could it get any better? Yes...it could. Even though I had successfully "made" it as an artist for 9 years, I still was wanting more. I had a small, cramped studio in the suburbs of Atlanta. I wasn't very happy, and was longing for more. In 2006, the movie "The Secret" was released. It changed my life. I started applying the Laws of Attraction to my daily life, and intensified my studies with a life coach, Retha Logan and manifested my dream life in only 6 months time. In June of 2007, my family and I moved to Fernandina Beach, Fl on the gorgeous Amelia Island. I have a new house 250 feet from the beach, and the most awesome huge studio loft in the historic downtown. It's been a roller coaster ride, but I wouldn't change a thing.

Oh...for those of you wondering....my adopted Dad finally came around and accepted me as an artist. In his final years, he even helped me in my studio and galleries. I lost both my adopted parents in the late 1990's. I also did meet my adopted mom. She's still an artist too and lives in North Mrytle Beach, SC.
