My Style:
My style is consistently shifting and evolving. I use the products I am working with as a muse, looking for inspiration within the colors, patterns and embellishments. If I stare at the product long enough, it will "talk" to me and an idea will be born. You will usually find layers and dimensions on each of my layouts! I like to be inventive, using a product in a new or unexpected way. My overall goal is to invoke a feeling, create movement, and pick the style that best fits my subject.
What really drives me in the creation of my art is my desire to tell the story behind the photos. My absolute favorite part is the journaling, finding the right words to express how I feel or to share an everyday moment.
