As a professional artist I have sold my art through out the world and because of my broad knowledge I decided to teach the next generation the knowledge that I have. In my spare time I like to create Christmas ornaments using a Cricut maker with my own designs. The ornaments are hand made by me.
I like doing embroidery and creating my own designs.
I'm always looking for different materials and ways to promote or display items in a home and this stands from my years of traveling all over the world and experiencing the way other design or create throughout history.
