The first 30 years of my life were spent exploring life from an Alaskan perspective. Fishing, hiking, and camping shaped my childhood and later, running, skiing and flying expanded my love of nature even further. The shorelines around the state, strewn with rocks and pebbles of magical textures and colors, were the inspiration to begin painting watercolors .

After meeting my  husband , I made a major change in lifestyle and moved to South Florida where my passions soon turned from  pebbles to shells. We take many shelling trips throughout the summers and find great treasures for our collections as well as my artwork.

 A brief, but memorable residence in Australia brought about my fixation on the BLUE STARFISH. A  trip to  the Great Barrier Reef brought me face to face with this unique, colorful creature. It inspired my studio name , my love for the beach, and all the casualness and colors that the seaside creates.
I am a lover of  "vintage" and anything "handmade". 

   Blue Starfish ORGANIC  clothing is all lovingly hand crafted with non-toxic materials and are all one-of-a-kind in the yummiest of colors. 
 I reside in Pompano Beach, Florida with my husband and two daughters, all  of whom take an active interest in our collections.
