Subsequently, after the birth of twins, she quit her high-tech career at IBM to be home with her growing family. "This is when creativity became a survival skill!" she says.

For the past two years she was an active Certification Trainer for Copic Marker / Imagination International in the U.S. and Canada.
Her prior design team and guest blogger experiences include such wonderful companies as Cosmo Cricket, Hero Arts, Prima, Spellbinders and Tattered Angels.
This year she had a couple of nationally televised segments on HGTV’s popular craft series, ‘That’s Clever!’.
Coming soon, she will be leading self-paced and instructor-led workshops on Stacy Julian’s innovative online education site, Big Picture Classes.

What is so special about Copic markers? These markers go way beyond coloring stamped images to multi-surface applications on cardstock, transparencies, fabric and more surfaces than you can imagine. Learn about the different styles of markers, and how the markers work, without the revealing brushstrokes so often associated with marker coloring.

Hands-on practice using four blending techniques that build upon each other and culminate with a three page handout that is yours to keep for reference and practice. An airbrushing demonstration will also be included as time allows.
