I love being able to share ideas, thought, and passion through art, creativity, and friendship!

As far as Art goes, I am geared more to mixed media, or Found Art. I am a frequent Dumpster Diver, I like to find old appliances and take them apart to use, even if it is broken, it’s still good! I don’t particularly have a favorite artist; I can get into different ones at different times, and am open to any artists!

Lately I’ve been making more of what I would call “Comic Book Art” I love using old no-name comic book characters from old comics that I usually find in the 10 cent bins at used book stores, and I will put them on old boxes, making them “Keep Sake Boxes”.
