Hello there! Thank you for wanting to learn a little more about me. Well, I take delight in the creative process and it's my goal to encourage folks of all ages to create art. Even stick figures can be interesting, funny and creative. I'm the creator of Doodle Thinks, an art blog and the name of my Teachers Pay Teachers shop. I share creative art ideas and create art resources to help educators and parents nurture children's creativity, foster their curiosity for art, and encourage them to think outside the box. I'm tickled and in awe that I would find so much satisfaction in creating art printables and that others (awesome you) are supporting my work. Thank you! The process is a lot of fun; from cultivating ideas to creating them digitally. I also create design resources such as clip art and doodle fonts for sellers to incorporate into their own educational or limited commercial products. If time permits, I try to work on personal side projects such as photography, painting, writing, crafts and greeting cards. With all this indoor studio creating and producing, I do try to get some sun (hah) and enjoy being out in nature (walking or gardening) as much as I can.

On a personal note, I'm an introvert who embraces short moments of solitude, a wife and homeschooling momma; these roles challenge me daily and help to stretch me. I'm not a fan of large crowds, small talk and multitasking but I manage to somehow carry through, hopefully, with poise rather than awkwardness, if met with these situations. I'm saved by grace and growing in my relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the source of my hope and strength. I'm humbled by His grace and grateful for His love. I hope, as I grow as an artist, I grow into a deeper relationship with God. As of recently, I'm learning to navigate a chronic illness and be at peace with it, and this imposition has increased my personal belief that the challenges we face in life will turn out for good when we place our hope in God.
A Quick Note to My Readers
This website is a combination of my personal voice and professional portfolio. As much as I hope to commit more time to my art, seasons in life will take priority but I'm grateful to share what I'm able to share with you. And thank you for visiting and supporting my work. In order to have more undistracted time, I manage one "social" media platform (yay! for pinterest). I hope to focus less on busy work and more on deep work, so that I can be intentional about the quality of art that I share with you and the attention that I give to those and the things I value most.
With this said, make it a creative day!
