I have enjoyed them all and may return to them at some time, but for now my interest has been totally captured by the challenge and pleasure of creating seamless surface patterns and organizing them into collections of coordinating designs. I am endlessly fascinated and challenged by this art form and am constantly learning from and being inspired by the creative community. I am strongly drawn to floral and coastal motifs but also very much enjoy creating cheerful and amusing collections for children and even quirky and fanciful designs for the child in all of us. Whatever the theme, when I am designing a new pattern, I am in my "happy place".
