Sandcastle Sirens: I am feeling the call:::::

My artist professional background is in Illustration, and I have 30 years experience in that field as a freelance artist and in house artist for Hallmark Cards inc. When not illustrating I have always been drawn to the arts and crafts field. I have shown my work in galleries and I also have professional training in fine metal smithing and hence I love the process of adding detail to my work. I love to take classes to learn new things and love to teach as the joy of seeing a person move out of the stress of daily living ,to spending several hours caught up in the relaxing moment of creating, is a rewarding experience . You also have an opportunity as a teacher to learn your self as everyone's creative approach is unique. My approach to my work has always been whimsical in design with the element of sophistication in finishing techniques.

"When we came home that afternoon, we both felt relaxed, as if we had gone away to rest... in reality we had only driven 20 minutes or so from our home, and yet the ambiance of the retreat had a very lasting and calming effect on us."
