What is your art or craft and how long have you been creating?
In my shop, you will find digital photography and digital art that I have created. I recently started doing more with tweaking photos and art digitally, but I have always love taking photographs. I have also been drawing since I was 8 years old.


What other things do you do besides creating?
I have an 8 month old daughter, a husband and 3 dogs. So I'm pretty busy almost all of the time. When I'm not doing anything creative, I enjoy running, swimming, fishing, camping, horseback riding, skiing....and just about anything else that has to do with the outdoors! I also like to go out to the movies or just stay in and snuggle up on the couch.

What inspires you?
Everyday life. Most of the time, it is nature that inspires me. When I drive down the road, I'm always looking at the landscape and different elements that would make a great photograph. I really try to keep my camera with me as much as possible; you never know when that perfect shot is going to present itself.


Are there any artists that inspire you?
I think a lot of artists inspire me. I come across a lot of great and wonderful artists on Etsy and other venues; there are so many talented people out there.


What are five words that describe you?
Short (height-wise :P)
Imaginative
Sarcastic
Loyal
Trustworthy
