Do you believe God gives us the desires of our heart? I am convinced He placed in my heart the desire to create and continually fulfils this desire. Art is a fascination and obsession in my life. Crayons, paste, clay, and paper maché called to me as a child. I love drawing, painting, printmaking, calligraphy and archival scrap booking. When I "retired" from working for others years ago I discovered rubber-stamping which lead to other types of paper crafting. My first stamp convention showed me such diversity in stamps and their possibilities…I was captivated. Stamping is a perfect fit with my love of papers, calligraphy, art and crafts. The urge to express myself via painting has never subsided although I find the instant gratification from stamp craft is quite gratifying, but my painting studio calls to me.
