When I was in middle school I got my first comic books, Spider-Man and The Silver Surfer! I loved the drawing and creativity. It led me to a love of art. I’ve not stopped drawing since. I attended the Savannah College of Art and Design and got a degree in Sequential Art. The degree’s literal application is for comic books, but it has a very strong emphasis in both illustration and graphic design, giving me a lot of the versatility I would eventually need to run Splattered Ink.
Before getting married and moving to Southern Illinois, I attended the University of Indianapolis in Indiana and received two BS degrees in Anthropology and Archeology. Darryl and I married in 2000 and we moved to Southern Illinois where I attended Graduate School for Anthropology. We loved the area so much that we decided to make this our home. It wasn’t long before Darryl’s dream to start his own business began to take shape and we started Splattered Ink.
I grew up in a small town nestled in the woods of the Shawnee National Forest of Southern Illinois surrounded by my awesome & creative family. From Harley/VW bug hybrid trikes to wooden hand made toys from my grandparents to paintings and hand made quilts from my parents and extended family. I have always been surrounded by creative people & things. These have all made a lasting impression inspire me to create today.
