I am a mixed media artist, instructor, author and designer from New York City. My artwork has been exhibited in multiple exhibitions and can be found in numerous books, independent zines, and national magazines. I am the voice behind The Pulse, a series of international, collaborative projects that are the basis for my books "The Pulse of Mixed Media" and "The Mixed-Media Artist", both released by North Light Books. I am the artist behind two workshop DVDs: Easy Mixed Media Surface Techniques and Easy Mixed Media Techniques for the Art Journal. My live workshops have been held throughout the United States, Mexico and Australia. I am a member of CHA, a blogger for Spellbinders Paper Arts, a stencil designer for StencilGirl Products, and currently have an ongoing column called The Creative Pulse in Cloth, Paper, Scissors magazine.
