Invitations, illustration, cards, pets, cars

Born in Toledo, Ohio and raised in the farmland west of the city, many careers were considered during my school days.  However, I had always aspired to the visual arts.  A graduate of the Columbus College of Art and Design, I majored in Photo Design and minored in Advertising Design, earning a B.F.A (Bachelor of Fine Arts) in 1990.  I moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in March 1992.

I have been a freelance artist and graphic designer since high school.  However, my career has evolved over the years, from visual merchandising to the non-profit arts, arts education promotions and coordination, handling print media to public relations and marketing- it has always involved art and design.   These experiences have been valuable to my development as an artist and as a business person.

My family, friends and some key teachers always encouraged and supported my dedication to art.  With a Christian background, I vividly recall my grandmother saying, "When God gives you a talent you should use it or it may be taken away." Over the years

that has served as a beacon of light for my life.

In August of 1995, I met Jack, my soulmate.  It was a whirlwind romance that began on the radio!  When we became engaged, Jack and I planned our wedding 'our way,' letting our personalities shine in every decision.

So, how did the custom wedding invitations begin? For years many of my loved ones had jokingly asked, "when they would get a piece of my artwork to keep?"  Jack and I decided to make our invitations and thank yous a series of artwork "gifts" that would set the mood for our special day.  Everyone commented on what a great idea and how unique our invitations were.

We had a wonderful wedding- we wouldn't change a thing and we still get compliments about it today!  I would be honored to help you feel the same way about your wedding!

Jack and I, continue to live "creatively ever after."

Thank you for reading my story. Read about my first bride, Jill, and her art.
