a little about me...
In 2001, after a successful career climbing the corporate ladder in SiliconValley, marketing high tech start-ups and brands like IBM and Animal Planet, I was longing for more so I left the corporate world to pursue my passion for art. 2012 marks the 11-year anniversary of launching my creative business endeavor treiC designs. Prior to becoming a full-time artist, I worked as a graphic designer, event planner, marketing director, professional cheerleader, elementary art teacher, fashion designer and Web designer– just to name a few. Experiences that I gained these positions, coupled with my innate drive to explore and create without boundaries are what contribute to my success as a mixed media artist. My passion for sharing art has led me on a worldwide tour teaching mixed media workshops in mixed media, handmade books, art journaling, collage, and creative business.
In 2005, I wrote my first best-selling book,
Collage Unleashed and in January 2012 my new book,
Doodles Unleashed was released. My art has been featured in over 15 art/mixed media books and 50 craft magazines including Somerset Studio, Altered Couture, cloth.paper.scissors, Art Journaling, Art Quilting Studio, Belle Armoire and Craft. My column Creativity Unleashed was featured in Somerset Studio Magazine. I have been a regular guest on DIY/HGTV Craft Lab. My creative business also includes designing licensed product lines, Collage Pauge adhesive and {kolLAJ} paper crafts and have developed business partnerships with numerous craft manufacturers. In February 2012, I will be launching my
treiC designs digital boutique, which will carry my new line of digital products, printables, e-courses and digital art journaling kits.
Thank you for being part of my creative journey!
