I'm a full-time mixed-media artist, happily married with three grown children, the most lovable dog, two cats and I work from the studio in my home in western North Carolina. I have always been an artist - growing up on the Navajo reservation in Arizona surrounded me with amazing craftsmen and artists and a love and respect of the creative process. Home decor has always been a passion of mine and I enjoy creating things that will add a touch of beauty to your surroundings. Over the years I realized that my art was either very feminine, sensual or had a feminine theme. As I developed my digital art, I discovered that I enjoyed creating with themes that included female subjects. Several years ago, I started a painting that was completely intuitive. I had no idea what it was to be about or how it would end up. The piece has two images, one of a young maiden on the lower right side of the painting, then an elderly wise women on the upper left side, in between are various paths, circles, butterflies and other images that symbolize the journey of a woman's life. That piece spoke to me in so many ways over the years as I was dealing with my children becoming adults and moving away, my changing body, and the health issues that came with that as well as who I was now that the role of "Mom" was no longer my main focus. I needed to embrace those changes and embrace who I was becoming.

I began my Paisley Goddess site, dedicated to women and its sister site, Paisley Goddess Home. I love what I do!
