I am a self-taught photographer and artist, dedicated to creating original and unique artwork that celebrates nature.   I use my photos and the designs I create from them in my handmade mixed media arts and crafts pieces.  I am an expert in innovative techniques, including printing directly on fabric and unusual surfaces such as lutradur, metal, and wood, and in using transfer techniques to get my images onto any surface that won't fit through my printer!  I am interested in going beyond creating art that hangs on the wall in a frame, and I design fabric for clothing and home decor, and love to think of new ways, both utilitarian and fun, to use my images.

I am an active member of numerous local and online arts groups. I have been a photographer for more than 20 years.  My husband, George McRae, and I have owned our business, Garden Delights Arts & Crafts, for more than five years.  I show and sell my work at galleries and online, and love to teach others to explore their own creativity using innovative techniques and materials.  I have written an ebook about inkjet printing on fabric, and teach a wide variety of workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area.
