She runs her own Creative Team who supports Finnabair creative blog and she designs for international mixed-media magazines.

Wow!! So many interesting choices she made!! I really wanted her to play more with the Cascade Green to see all it offers and maybe she actually did see that as she wasn't working at the speed we saw!! But just Wow! I will be rewatching there is so much I want to try now! Thanks as ever!!

Great video . Enjoyed watching her process. Amazing how some basic supplies could jump start such a layered, multi-dimensional piece. Loved how she built upon the stencil elements.
