Women throughout the ages have enjoyed collecting fashion, everything from Imelda Marcos' 3,000 shoes to Princess Diana's gowns.  I wanted to explore the whole concept of shopping through the symbol of the purse.  Rather than shopping at the mall, I foraged nature and recycled items to celebrate the beauty and boldness of nature.


I would never had predicted people would be buying all the beans and toilet paper off the shelves, but cheap gasoline and cruise vacations would be rejected.  Everyone started baking bread and going for walks on the trails with their families.


Color Pairing bold colors like turquoise and red is like wading in a cool river in a hot canyon.

I like to think of color as a divine language unknown to the speaker.

I have never experienced the gift of speaking in tongues, but when I sit before my palette, I ask God to surprise me with a combination of unusual colors like light green and cranberry, or dark brown and coral.
