My design style has always tended towards bold motifs & rich color. I became fascinated with chalk art - as both an art form & translating it to cross stitch.

I premiered my timeless monthly Chalk series 'A Year in Chalk' in 2014 - the series that kicked off a genre of Chalk Art Cross Stitch in the industry.

More Chalk cross stitch has followed through the years & continues to be a favorite design style of mine.
