I grew up in small town Iowa. Yes, I'm a midwest girl. Yes, I lived in the midst of cornfields. I have been to the Field Of Dreams and the Bridges Of Madison County. No, I didn't live on a farm or own cows or pigs. I attended ISU where I applied to and was accepted into the College of Design Graphics Program. I loved growing up in Iowa. I met my husband there, but it's not where we wanted to live the remainder of our lives.

 

We visited friends in Oregon many times over a 10 year period before we decided to move. We've been here now for over 6 years. We love the mountains and the ocean. Oregon offers up an endless supply beauty and wonder. As a creative, it doesn't take much effort to find inspiration here.
