I paint, sculpt and make tie-dyed and silk-screened clothing.
My work is inspired by landscapes, animals and characters from my book, Timmy the Tree Clown.

I like to experiment with materials and techniques. I use found objects in my art process to create different effects. I have used leaves in my tie-dye clothing and tree branches in my sculptures.

I have painted with my mouth, feet, left hand, feathers, sticks, my bike tires, pop cans and a little bit of everything, probably.

I create sculpture with copper, tin, wire, wood, t-shirts and cast aluminum.

I tie-dye, silk-screen and use fabric paints on 100% cotton. I use procion dyes and silkscreen with water-based inks. I have baby clothes, t-shirts for adults and kids, women's dresses, hats and bandanas for sale. I also do custom orders.

I have been creating artwork for 20 years. I attend Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts. I make art in the studio and show in their gallery. I show at local art fairs and festivals. This year I will be at Red Hot Art at Stevens Park and Art-A-Whirl. I have an artist mentor, Sara Hanson, and we work together in her studio.

At 2 1/2 I got a fever and the measles because of a mosquito bite, and from this I got encephalitis. The doctor said that I would not walk or talk and I had to go to Sister Kenney Institute and they helped me. My mom and family helped me too. My dad built a foot brace to help me learn how to walk and I went to speech therapy. I live independently, have a part time job and make a lot of art.
