This site–and all of my art projects and crazy, creative ideas past and present–is dedicated to everyone I hold near and dear to my heart. To all of my loving family and my friends I had through school and beyond, people I’ve re-connected to recently that helped point me in the right direction, and people I’ve only ever known across the internet. You know who you are. Also to the wonderful people at MyGraficO and to Amber McLeod for giving me places to share my art with others…the list goes on forever. I am very grateful to each of you for inspiring me and believing in me–and putting up with all of my endless mad-scientist ideas.

But it doesn’t stop there. To my husband, for loving me, believing in me, and changing my life…to my children for being my little angelic gifts from heaven…and to my father, for being who he is. His childhood dream of being an artist has always driven me to someday do something with my own talent, and his endless drive to do what he loves in life continues to teach me to never give up on my dreams. Thank you dad. I love you. 

My father passed away on November 16th, 2009…and though his body is gone, his spirit lives on in my heart. This site and my continued work with my art is dedicated to his memory.
