She holds a BFA in communication arts from Western Colorado University and cut her design teeth in print publishing while living in the Pacific Northwest. She finally found her way to letterpress, eventually becoming the studios manager at The Printing Museum in Houston, Texas. While there, she was the primary letterpress evangelist spreading the good news of letterpress printing to anyone who ventured through the doors or signed up for her workshops. She has adapted her lessons to teach all ages; as well as, professional and non-professional artists alike. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the years, as a steward of letterpress resources, she has become a press mechanic helping individuals and institutions keep their old presses running and the ink flowing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough an avid practitioner of traditional letterpress and printmaking methods, still she embraces modern tools and works fluently between analog and digital worlds.
