She loves to work in coloured pencils on watercolour paper, in part because it adds a rough textural element, and also because its too frightening to actually use watercolour paint on watercolour paper. Someday she plans on taking a course in watercolours and hopefully overcoming her fear of them. Until that day, however, she will continue to produce colourful, whimsical creations much to the delight of her family and friends. She lives in Richmond, Virginia with her husband and her two sons.
