Creativity and nature are inextricably linked for me. Most of my ideas come when I’m walking outside observing my surroundings. I love the interplay of color and texture and the way light can change any view. My favorite time of day is early morning and most of my greeting cards are photos from my walks along the beach on BI during the off season. Living on Block Island means I have a constant playground in which to explore ideas.
My favorite medium to work in is lino print. I use most of my designs to hand print onto fabric such as tea towels and t-shirts.
Writing is another love of mine and The Ocean Oracle is one of my favorite creations. It combines Story and Messages with images (most of the photos were taken on Block Island) to offer guidance and healing to those who work with the deck.
I grew up thinking I wasn’t creative at all and I have learned that we are all creative in our own ways. I feel like once my creative genie was released from the bottle I’ve been on a mission to try everything that comes my way. Art is so personal and it lights me up when something I’ve created makes someone else smile.
