What is your Art/Craft? 
3D Fiber sculpted fantasy figures
 
Describe your style in two words: 
Colorful & whimsical

What is your favorite piece and why? 
This is my favorite piece right now (pictured above), as I love the whimsical aspect of her, the color and I wouldn’t mind being a magical mermaid!

What is the most memorable piece of advice you’ve ever received? 
Live one day at a time and don’t take yourself to seriously!
 
What is the one piece of advice you’d give? 
Only create what you feel like creating…and don’t worry about what would sell and what wouldn’t.  If you truly love what you are creating, that will be reflected in your work, and other people will see that.  You will know that when people tell you how lucky you are to be able to create what you do, and what fun you must have.
