In November,  2011  I started a business called Purple Pumpkin in honor of my very creative mother who used to throw fabulous parties.  

I believe there is an artist in everyone so I began hosting art parties to bring that inner artist out.  Sure enough it works.  I discovered my own inner artist and this year I will be painting as often as I can.  I paint with a palette knife in my backyard studio.  I am excited to share my experiences with you as I turn in a new direction.
