1. Tell us about your work
Handmade Bath & Body products that include Soap, Body Butter, Body Lotion, Solid Lotion Stick, Perfume Oil, Lip Balm Shimmer and Whipped Cream Soap. I only use the finest ingredients and skin loving oils such as Olive, Avocado and pure Shea Butter. All my products are Paraben free and NOT tested on animals.

2. How did you come to be a professional artist/crafter?
About 12 years ago, I remember reading an article in a fashion magazine about making handmade lip balms. When I viewed the web site the supplier also offered handmade soap supplies as well. That’s when my addiction began. This is my passion and I spend and enormous amount of time both day and night devoted to my craft. Many times I can’t sleep because my mind is always creating a new product and/or packaging.

3. Where do you draw your inspiration?
From Old Hollywood Vintage Glam and Medieval/Renaissance.

4. What’s your favorite item to make?
Right now it’s my new Savon Cherub Soaps. The mold design is gorgeous!

6. How long have you been in Rhode Island?
I relocated back here about 4 ½ years ago. I was living in NYC for about 12 years. And Los Angeles for a short period of time.

7. What do you {heart} about Rhode Island?
Spending time at the Beach and going to Brunch with friends. Summer evenings at Water Fire are beautiful. And I love spending lots of time with family.

8. Please include anything else you’d like to add:
I love to travel! I visit friends often in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City and Florida.
