I clean up a lot of messes.

I work out of my home studio which is really just a room with a desk in it and my kids’ fingerpaints all over the place. The atmosphere is rife with loud music and studio cats.

Most of the time, I am highly caffeinated.

I live in Salem, Oregon where the weather is gray, but the mood is optimistic. I also have a day job (hence, the caffeine.)

To promote my work, I rely heavily on the kindess of  strangers, namely word-of-mouth, blogs, Facebook and Twitter.

So far, the universe – and the internet – have been very good to me.
