When I was 14 I sold my first puppet to an international buyer by word of mouth. That same year Jim Henson passed away. My dream of working for him was gone. I kept creating hoping there might be a way to work with his company if they managed to survive the loss of their creator. Even after college they were not hiring.

I went through over a decade of trying to make a new dream happen while endlessly feeling the loss of my biggest dream.

Can a dream lost ever be found? Can I make my dreams happen even if my life is not starting out? What does the dream even look like after so much loss?

Dislocated joints?
Yes! That is the problem with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Co-morbid conditions also make my dreams a challenge. I could cope with life and not try for lost dreams. I always end up back on this path, and I am determined to find ways to handle my disabilities while also reaching my dreams.

Sacrifices are part of having success. It will not be easy, but what example would I be to my own children and others who struggle to reach their dreams? Yes, my children have the same conditions.

We will all find our dreams and the life we want. Together we all can achieve amazing things.

As a storyteller I use many mediums to tell stories. I am a published author of fiction novels! This is one of my favorite ways to tell a story that is longer, more complicated and detailed. The GearMaker’s Locket was a big success on my journey to reach my dreams! What do your writing dreams entail? How would you achive them? Maybe we can all reach our dreams as word artists!

I am a puppet artist. This is a life long profession. I can’t wait to bring you all on this journey, but before I do you should understand what puppets means when I do puppetry. These are not the normal puppets you are used to. Lifelike animals as well as the crazy fun creatures we have known this last century are all included in my artwork. I make puppets to meet the need of the situation. Will I still be doing puppet work in the future! Of course!
