About me


Now, let's get right down to it... I am just me, and I love to have fun! Even in my classes.  I have markers, and I am not afraid to use them!
However, you must know there are two things I do not share. 1. is my fabulous husband, and 2. My markers.

I am a Professional Independent Copic Instructor. I have taught Internationally but mostly stayed here in the States. I traveled quite a bit in the Mid-Atlantic, East Coast, and Midwest.  If you are looking for a Copic Teacher in your shop and want it to be a fun class...I am your gal. 
Now for "Just Me" - I am proud to say I have FINALLY RAISED 2 beautiful men! Stephen and Ryan. Whom I still call by their little nicknames. We all live in different states, and it is hard, but there are lots of calls and face time. And lots of I love you going around.
I am married to Jeff, who really gets me! He loves me because I am a total goofball, or despite, whichever I will take it. He gets what I do. He understands that I color little girl images, cartoon-looking animals, etc. I make sweet and whimsical cards and never mail them out.

I blog my cards and share them with my Facebook Friends and Instagram friends.  He supports me, and he thinks it is fantastic! He is so happy that I've retired from running my Facebook group so I can relax and get my craft on.  I even started reading again and crocheting.  Jeff, says I am the Lady of the house now, and I can do whatever pleases me.  Boy, oh, boy, did he open a can of worms! 
Being empty nesters that are only 53 years young has its perks.  But I also miss my grown boys and motherhood very much.  So now we have two furry children spoiled to the rotten core! Roscoe our son is a 4 YorkiePoo.  Gigi, i.e., "Lil G" or Boss Dog, our baby girl YorkiePoo, is only 3lbs.  By the way, "Lil G" runs Rosco!  If the truth were to be told, they run the house, and we just pay for everything.
I do love to share my love of coloring with you!

Welcome to CNY. I was born and raised in your current location and most of my family lives there. I think you will enjoy the Fingerlakes region. There is much to do and see. I look forward to meeting you at Creativ You.

Hi Rhea, I love your work. Do you use Copic Ciao or Copic Sketch?
I'm just ordering my first copics. What colours do you suggest I start with?

I was hoping you lived in MN. I saw one of your cards on Pinterest and decided to visit your blog. Then I saw you offer classes and had to know where you live.

The information you shared and the comment about laughter in your house warmed my heart. With humor and a loving family, where you live doesn't matter.

Best wishes on your new adventure and I hope your health improves.
