Artist Statement:
My craft designs are elaborate
with hidden objects or
intricate designs waiting to
be seen. Process is essential
to my work and begins with the
medium of paper. I use a
unique form of decoupage
working with handmade papers
and an assemblage of found
objects. I like symmetry in my
work and often balance size,
shape, and color with pattern,
and texture. I love to have
fun with my designs and enjoy
working with clients to create
custom pieces for their
special occasions. I continue
to create my work with
exuberance as it is a nice
respite from the constraints
of formal teachings as the
possibilities are endless in
multimedia. The evolution of
my line continues, as I am
currently designing bottle cap
art with genuine gemstones,
handmade papers, and charms
that can also be turned into
necklaces.

| Your Personal Biography |
I love making unusual, colorful, distressed, Old World, useful, Victorian, Gothic......Art. Through years of encouragement and my hard earned BA in Visual Arts, practice, a bad economy and more encouragement I started my own crafting business with my friend Lee Taylor. Thumbprintz.. The name came about by mistakes, as all truly special things do; While working, we would be up to our elbows in paint, ink and glue, inevitably leaving a fingerprint on our new creation. Since we both share a love of the vintage and the distressed, if it works, why not roll with it?
So check us out on etsy.com store name : Thumbprintz, we are adding new creations daily. Also please keep an eye out for us as Connecticut Arts and Crafts fair seasons get under way- we'll try to get to as many as possible
