I'm a hopeless creative, out to try anything and everything that fills my soul and makes me say "wow I want to do that."

This site is currently under construction as I curate the past 20 years of my creative pursuits, exploring how they've brought me to who I am today. 

Songwriting

For now, you can still access www.TrueWindMusic.com for the songs I've written, recorded and performed with my husband Greg Newlon

Clay Sculpture

I took a Creative Process class to see how it would inform my songwriting, and fell in love with clay hand-building. Eventually I got too busy... and too broke... to spend much time on art. I once thought I would buy a kiln and start again... but then I redisocovered papermaking

Papermaking

My journey with paper was handed down from my mom, a fabulous artist who - like me - loves to try new things. I'll share some of my work and provide a resource list for workshops and books. 
​

Collage

After I started posting my hand-made paper on Facebook and Instagram, a friend invited me to join a collage and mail art group on Facebook. For me, collage is a way to learn about color, composition... and to learn to let go of outcomes.

Guitar String Jewelry

From 2016 to 2018 I upcycled unique bracelets, earrings and pendants out of more than 2,500 gently used guitar strings. My Etsy Store is 'on vacation.' 

Eco-printing

This is a new area of exploration for me, and I'll share my journey.

Natural Dyeing

Learning about eco-printing brought me to natural dyeing... and the discovery of a world of color in my own yard!

​Creative Thoughts

Curiosity is the mother of creativity. I have a lot of thoughts to share on the creative pursuit.
