The Artful Dreamer
Welcome to my vintage paper oasis...a small sanctuary which allows me to escape from my autoimmune issues.  It has been an interesting road that has brought me to this place.  I am educated & trained as a physician and am also a published author, but health issues have ravaged my soul to the point of seeking out art as therapy for my chronic pain.  Creating items of beauty helps me through some of the toughest days and I am absolutely delighted to know my art brings something positive to other's lives as well.   I have been married to my soul mate for over nineteen years now and am a very proud mom to an amazing little boy. 
 
 
 
 Although I am the creative heart & soul behind Artful Dreamer, I refer to it as "our" boutique because the men in my life support me through it all and I couldn't do it without them.  My experience as a physician and as a woman who battled infertility for many years influences everything I create, as does my love of vintage items.  My art is a blend of altered art and paper piecing with a decidedly soft & aged sensibility.  I create most items with a feminine flair because, as women, we should all celebrate that which makes us unique.  
 
I work very diligently to fill my boutique with unique items and have recently added digital hybrid tags.  These allow me to provide price savvy tags for those with a more limited budget and give me a much needed break from the adhesives I use on my layered items.  I strive to provide a true boutique experience with a friendly atmosphere and high quality pieces available in smaller quantities.     
 
Thank you so much for visiting my boutique and for allowing me to share my passion with the world.  Have a wonderful day and please visit again soon!
