My Biography...
It all began in beautiful Pennsylvania...
I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, where my love of art, paintings, and the appreciation of nature and all it has to offer was developed. I moved to Colorado when I was 21 where I found the extreme intensity of the beauty in nature to be as one with my inner passion when I lived in the Rocky Mountains. I lived in Colorado for 10 years, then moved to Las Vegas to refreshen our family life. I lived in the "City of Sin" for 10 years, where our family went thru several changes. Spring of 2002 my two sons and I moved to Mesa, Arizona to marry a wonderful man. While living there for the 5 yrs that I did, I can proudly announce that I was made a grandmother twice over by my son, Shawn. Two blessed angels... Kaylee Lynne (born August 2, 2005), and Jared Jeffery (born August 14, 2006). My husband and I have since taken seperate paths in life. Thus begins the newest chapter in my life... and searching for that new challenge that life has to offer is waiting for me around the next bend. Change is a good thing! You ask, "What has she dabbled in as far as her career?... For the past 2 1/2+ years, I have been working at Bunker Family Funeral Homes as their Graphic Designer. I provided my expertise for all five locations in the East Valley area. For the past three years before that, I had attended Collins College to make a career change in my life. I put my heart and soul into every project that I worked on in school. With three years of schooling, two degrees, and over a year in the work field, I am ready to take the world head-on. I am a very determined and tenacious woman. My deep seeded passion about my art, my vision and my creative abilities will take me very far. My quest is to find that mentor who will place the finishing touches on my guidance. One that will guide me down the proper path then stand back and watch as I soar above the rest.

Interests...
Being a mother has always been my favorite "hobby". I love to cook & bake. Our family also loves to BBQ. We are known for having two grills going at the same time with a spread to feed an army. Don't fret, the BBQ leftovers never last 48 hours in this home. I am very well known for the bountiful and tempting dishes that I can prepare. I find my happiest and most memorable moments spent with my family. I suspect this is because I am an only child, and both my parents are deceased. My blood family is barely of existance, except for my children, that is why I cherish our family time so preciously. This is something my sons deeply appreciate.
Being a Shih Tzu breeder for the past 15 years has been a very rewarding experience. I have experienced many wonderful memories with each and every litter. I have also felt many tears fall for the little ones that passed on as well. Each of my puppies is born and handled with tender loving care. I spoil each puppy till the day they are sold and are welcomed into the hands of their new owners.
Inspired by...
There are four artists that have inspired me deeply throughout my life. Their work has given me hope and inspiration time and time again.
- Escher
- Dali
- Michelangelo
- Leonardo Da Vinci
I am also very passionate about quotes and cliches. I strongly feel that a person's memory links and ties easily with a quote or cliche.
Credit given to...
I want to give credit to my children for being the shoulder their mamma needs at weakened moments. I love you sons.
