Art and the Aging Brain - Not Old - Better Show Podcast Interview, August 2021
Picture
I'm thrilled to have been interviewed for the Not Old - Better Show podcast (part of the Smithsonian Associates Art of Living Interview Series) on the topic of Art and the Aging Brain.

Listen in on my discussion with host Paul Vogelzang as we chat on a range of topics relating to creativity including creating and learning about art, my personal artistic journey, and the benefits that come from being an artist and / or as someone appreciative of art and the joy that it offers.

Spill Your HeART - Webinar Panelist, Spring 2021
Picture
I was thrilled to participate as a panelist for a Zoom webinar hosted by Nathalie Kalbach where we discussed, "What's the Point?"

​
Why are we making art? Do you create for a specific purpose or do you focus more on the journey? Are you somewhere in between? 

​
We explored the why and then also the aftermath - what do you do with it all afterwards? Selling, personal collections, gifts, the closet, and the trash will all be on the table.

The webinar is now available to watch on-demand, so you can still catch up on the conversation!

I'm very excited to share that my "Matchbook Minis," mini matchbook-style art journals made from shipping tags, have a staring role in my latest article in the Spring 2023 issue of Somerset Studio magazine. If you aren't a subscriber, it will be available on newsstands on February 1st, 2023.

Members of my Facebook group can also access the archived version of my FREE live online class, so if you haven't already, I hope you'll check out the article and​ the free class!

Belle Armoire Jewelry, Spring 2022
Picture

I'm thrilled to have one of my Stitched Boho Medicine Pouches featured in a Spotlight in the Spring 2022 issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry magazine. This short piece is less instructional and more about the thoughts and background that have helped to inform my style in the jewelry that I wear and make. It's a fun little piece and I'm so excited to shine a light on these fun necklaces!

Belle Armoire Jewelry, Winter 2022
Picture

In the Winter 2022 issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry, I'm very excited to have my publication of some of my mixed media statement jewelry. In this issue my feature article, Making a Statement, walks you step-by-step through the creation of the type of necklace shown here. I share tips and alternatives as well as the sizes and measurements for each part of the process. I hope my fellow jewelry makers will enjoy this and all the other articles in this fabulous issue.

Somerset Studio, Winter 2022

In the Winter 2022 issue of Somerset Studios, I'm thrilled to share my Quirky Boho Paper Dolls in a feature article. Based on my popular Pocketful of People online class, I've shared tips and tricks for looking at your supplies in new ways to create your own group of fun and whimsical paper people.

Cloth Paper Scissors, Winter 2018
Picture

In this issue of Cloth Paper Scissors, (which is unfortunately the last for this publication,) I'm excited to have a feature article sharing my faux resin paper technique. I share my tips and recipe for creating your own papers, as well as a tutorial on making an accordion style art journal and adding in your faux resin papers as window pages.

Somerset Studio, Sept-Oct 2018
Picture

I was incredibly fortunate to partner with Lynne Perrella, a mixed media icon in her own right, for an article celebrating and taking inspiration from ancient icons. Each of us contributed three pieces of artwork and shared our thoughts for an article compiled and then written by Lynne that discusses the art, as well as a bit about the collaboration, the materials we used, our inspirations, and even some synchronicity as a part of the process. 

Creative Scrapbooker, Summer 2018

My mixed media artwork "Fading Beauty" appeared in the "MUST list" column featuring the Baked Texture embossing powders from Emerald Creek. I also included a short write-up about the amazing textures and effects that can be achieved using these powders in your artwork and craft projects. 

Cloth Paper Scissors, ​May / June 2018
Picture

In this issue, I was featured in the "Road Test" column using the new pastel sets by Jane Davenport for American Crafts. I put them through their paces, trying both types of pastels (Chalk Pastels and Cream Pastels) in a variety of applications and using several different substrates. I shared the results of those experiments, then used my samples to create a Spring-themed art journal spread.
