How about a brief introduction? Hello, I am a self taught block print artist who has had many many odd jobs over the years including gift wrapper, video store manager, movie theater projectionist, seller of fine pens, and my current job of managing an art gallery and art supply shop.
Who/what inspires you? Paper and ink, illustration and graphic design, office supplies, colorful pens, and breakfast!
What message would you like to send out about your work? I remember when I was a kid how excited I’d get when I would receive a letter or card in the mail from one of my friends. I still have all these letters and love to look through them every now and then. In this day of fleeting emails, text messages & tweets, the lost art of letter writing (or even handwriting) is fading away. I hope my note cards inspire people to continue to send letters and cards via snail mail.
What is your biggest accomplishment to date? I am so glad that I started my paper goods business (almost three years ago) which I get to pour my creative energies into each day. I had been planning and thinking about it for far too long and finally I did it!
Share a secret with us! Okay this is embarrassing but, I did not have my own computer until last year. I have been sponging off other people for years. my bad! ;o
