As a youngster, Nellie yearned to be creative.  She was always wanting to make things with her hands.  As an adult, the opportunity came to help others with her art when she created cards for a local hospital.  One thing then led to another.....

Nowadays Nellie can be found, when she is not working in the family business, creating in her studio, where she can gaze upon the flowers and listen to the sounds of nature.  Nellie will tell you that her studio is her "happy place" where she creates lovely handmade journals.

She believes her creating is her way of recording the footprints of her life's journey, where she is wife and mother to three wonderful children.

Nellie is inspired by her family, her friends, and her faith.  Her wish is to also help others to find their footprints through art, and share their experiences, hopes, and dreams through an introspective process.
