I am a mixed media artist, author,  designer, workshop instructor and creative catalyst. I live in beautiful B.C. Canada with my partner Mr. G (aptly named for his tolerance of glitter) in a purple magic cottage.  The cottage sports a huge papier mache dragonfly drenched in glitter!

My first book "Journal Bliss: Creative Prompts to Unleash your inner Eccentric" is all about Visual Journaling.  My passion is to teach others to embrace who they are through the vehicle of their creativity.  I do this mainly through classes on Visual Journaling (among other mixed media projects), in my online classes and in my blog. My home, glittery van and art have been featured on numerous TV shows.

I have been working with polymer clay since 1994, when I bought a piece from an artist and she allowed me to "pick her brain" about the stuff. I went to the craft shop, bought some, and started on my polymer journey!

Currently I teach polymer clay classes to children in after-school groups and to adults through local bead shops. Their abilities never cease to amaze! I never feel I am going to "work" because I have such fun. I sell my work at craft shows, online, and through local shops. Others have described my work as not fitting into any one niche. I can safely describe my style as multi media/multi-dimensional. I sculpt, cane, quilt, paint, sew, work in paper and scrapbooking...pretty much anything that is asked (Can you??? is a popular question that has only once or twice been answered to the negative).
I am married and have 3 beautiful children.

I started crafting when I was a child and have never stopped.  Through the years,  I think I’ve fiddled with just about every craft that’s out there.  Some didn’t hold my interest for too long, but paper and fabric have been at the top of my list for years.  Although every craft provides an opportunity to grow and learn,  patchwork and quilting have provided me with knowledge that has been invaluable in all crafting, and especially in paper crafts.

It’s hardly a surprise that the three books I’ve written, Fabric Painting Made Easy, Stamping Made Easy, and The Complete Guide to Glues & Adhesives, contained patchwork/quilting projects.

In addition to the books, I self-published a quilt making pattern, have written many magazine articles, and have an active blog.

I’ve taught a few thousand hours of classes in topics ranging from patchwork/quilting to fabric painting to stamping to rug braiding to embroidery to Christmas crafts to polymer clay to knitting...and more.

I can’t imagine not crafting…it’s what I do!

Aka: GlitterEmm. I am a graphic artist, web-designer, photographer and multi-media artist. I have an AS degree in Commercial Art and a BS in Art Education. My familiarity with the arts has taught me to think creatively in all endeavors and turned me into a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. My artwork usually begins as two-dimensional objects but then transpires into three-dimensional. I guess you could describe it as relief collage. I have shown a wide range of artwork in local shows.
My work can be viewed in my ever changing website: www.artbyemm.com.

i have three boys, one very tall one I call my husband and two medium sized ones I call my kids. They all respond to "Honey".
