I grew up in Paradise California, but I have lived in many places. After taking various art courses in college, I moved to England for four years, working and teaching arts and crafts. I did everything from ceramics, pottery, drawing and painting, to framing, matting, and even cake decorating.

Right now I am living in the amazing town of Redmond Washington with my wonderfully creative boyfriend, Bart of Bartholomedia. I have loved creating art for as long as I can remember! I would have to say as far as art goes, I have always spent most of my time drawing, but now I am finding new excitement focusing on painting and mixed media works. Bart and I have worked together bringing my love of drawing characters and animals and his love of photography together in our mixed media projects. I love trying new and creative things all the time and plan to add my own style of resin jewelry...

白川乡与五箇山的合掌造聚落[1]（日文：白川郷·五箇山の合掌造り集落）是**飞驒地区白川乡（岐阜县大野郡白川村）及五箇山（富山县南砺市）地区的合掌造聚落的总称。于1995年12月9日被*****文**登录为世界文化遗产。因为冬天的景色就像在童话故事中情境一般，被喻为“冬日的童话村”。
合掌造（合掌造り）是指**一种特殊的民宅形式，特色是以茅草覆盖的屋顶，呈人字型的屋顶如同双手合十一般，于是就被称为“合掌”。合掌造为木造建筑物，在兴建的过程中完全不用钉子，但仍然十分牢固。合掌造的屋顶十分陡峭，这是使积雪容易滑落不会堆积，以避免冬季的大雪将屋顶压垮（类似欧洲的建筑）。合掌造每隔三、四十年就必须更换老朽的屋顶茅草。更换茅草需要大量人力，故每次有哪一家人的屋顶需要翻修，全村的人就会同心协力一起完成，这种合作方式称为“结”（ゆい）。
传说这种建筑形式是13世纪初*氏家族在源*合战战败后遁入深山，为了御寒并躲避追兵而建造的[2]。目前保存下来的建筑物大约是在江户时代中后期兴建的。
将合掌造介绍给全世界的，是德国的建筑学者Bruno Taut，他在1935年左右于**进行传统民居样式的**，实地走访合掌造后大感惊艳，在《**美的再发现》一书中赞誉其为“极端合理，就连**境内也相当罕见的传统庶民建筑”。
