ilex = holly
lapis = stone

i am a freelance artist, designer & photographer in valley station, ky. i grew up on free shakespeare and free art classes and have studied art, theatre and scenic painting in kentucky and ohio. i have melded my love of technology and art to work with graphic design (among many other things!) for the past 15 years. I enjoy working with nonprofits, theatres, musicians, small businesses... and people who can't afford to hire a fancy schmancy design service!

my husband peter and i are also proprietors of the salvage emporium. the salvage emporium specializes in jewelry, junk and other curiosities hand-made from salvaged items and materials. merchandise from the salvage emporium is available online and at regional craft and car shows.

in addition to my freelance work, i am on the board of directors for shakespeare behind bars and work part time as the director of technology and communications.
