Sending out a big fat thank you to all that have helped me develop as a human being and as an artist (and as cook, of course!). Special thanks to my husband, Alec Young, for building this super-cute website and for being my partner in life. Thanks to Mom for moving to Minnesota (yes Denny, thanks to you too!), for teaching me to cook and sew, and for teaching me how to be a loving, outgoing person. Thanks to my family in Minnesota, Iowa, Montana, and Colorado for nurturing ideas & inspiration & to my friends around the world for endless support & encouragement. To the gang at Mosaic on a Stick, I will always treasure the laughter & creativity that we shared. Super-big thanks to my picture taking, food loving friend, Usry Alleyne, for lovingly photographing most of the art on my website. And, thanks to you, whoever you are and wherever you live, for visiting my online home. Here’s to creating a little bit of beauty every day.
