Creativity coach. Published author. Photographer. Book coming late August! http://splendorpublishing.com/love-you/

Growing up, I was surrounded by creative friends & family…everything from a fiber-crafting/writer mother, to a photographer/radio personality grandfather, to a local woman with an amazing gift for drawing horses. Consequently, I’ve worked with many forms of creation, and I’m frequently looking for new venues to explore.

In addition to my creative mother, I have a very left brained, analytical sort of father. This helped me develop both halves of my brain, and left me with the crazy combination of being perfectionist/organized & laid-back/creative. Now I combine those 2 sides of me, by finding creative & aesthetic ways of organizing.

By mixing creativity, an organized business, and a balanced lifestyle, we can create the kind of life you want to be living! Cause really, who wants to be a "starving" artist?
