Come and enjoy my "Wearable Art". My pastels, color pencil Sketches, pencil sketches, paintings and digital Fine Art. All made into Fashion Art. Women's and Men's Hoodies, T-Shirts, Tank Tops, Sweatshirts, Long Sleeve Ts. Leggings. Coffee Cups, Pet items, Skins and Greeting Cards. From the beautiful Inuit artwork here in the Northwest, to the seasonal colors of the flora in our Puget Sound.  To my Teen years in the S.F. Bay Area absorbing the 1960's culture of Fillmore West and Winterland Concert posters, Berkeley Barb and other political newspaper artwork.  The flower Power art of "The Yellow Submarine".  The 60's Renaissance of Maxfield Parrish and Art Deco.  The comic stylings of Dori Seder and R. Crumb. I have always been a visual person. Enthralled by colors. My early childhood years of living in Europe had me in awe when seeing the Sistine Chapel, it's beautifully painted ceilings by Michael Angelo,  it's stained glass windows.  The multitude of sculptures everywhere you turned in Italy.  The Italian Glass makers of Venice gave me a love for glass work. The primary colors and joyful scenes of the Haitian and African, and Native American, European and Western artwork my family collected over the years.  The beautiful, ornate Asian art and metalwork my father brought back from Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia.   My life has been filled with beautiful artwork.  My mother told me I was born with crayons in my hand. She eventually gave up on constantly buying my paper to draw on as a child. Such a smart woman, she ended up going to wallpaper stores and bought the ends of wallpaper rolls for me to draw on. It is how I reference the world.  How the light hits a friend's face during a conversation.  The dappled play of leaf shadow dancing on the sidewalk.  How many textures of bricks on one Pioneer Square building. I'm driven to celebrate the feelings connected to the life I see with my art.
