Creative Crazy Person

I’m a bit all over the place.. always working on something… you never know what will show up in these categories below of “Recently Completed” or my “Works in Progress”.

Recently Completed…

Here are a few of my projects that I have completed recently.

I’m constantly inspired to create. I work in a multitude of mediums, so my works in progress will be varied and seemingly unrelated. What is fun for me is that working on different projects allows me to utilize insights, skills or ideas on other projects. My projects flow into each other as I work and sometimes, magic happens! 🙂
