I have always been a writer… a poet… a spoken word artist… a novelist. However, it is my belief that a true artist has the ability to exercise their artistry in several genres because it comes from the same part of the brain. I was looking for an outlet for my hands. I have always been drawn to wood. The smell…the feel… so in about 2004, I bought a wood-burning tool just to try my hand. I fell in love. I started out burning cigar boxes – turning them into trinket boxes, jewelry boxes and purses. I had the blessed fortune of teaching my craft to teen girls in 2006 through the City of Atlanta’s ArtsCool summer program. Gradually, I started to evolve the types of product that I produced eventually concentrating almost exclusively on purses and accessories by 2009.
