Bio:
Eco-Artist, Journalist, Designer, Go-Green Girl.
If you really must know I make funky upcycled art out of discarded items. My work has ended up in private collections and museums. I pride myself in donating some of my art to fundraisers for charity and also promote art programs.
I write what moves me - mostly green living and eco ideas. I also am author to a wonderful fantasy novel entitled The Prism: Book One Princess Nedia, Transformation of a Dream which is about believing in your dreams.
ISBN13 (TP) 978-1-4415-0883-6.
ISBN13 (HB) 978-1-4415-0884-3
It is also available in CD Rom, and E-Book.
I design everything from jewelry for speciality shops to kitchens for clients (and websites!)
I'm married to a very successful man who encourages me to do what I love. I'm grounded, big hearted, and appeciative for all I have. I guess you could say I'm a country girl at heart, trapped in the big city....
Goal: To make one person per day smile; the world would then be a brighter place.
