A New England girl, I was born & raised in Enfield, Connecticut. In 1988 I graduated from Butera School of Art in Boston, Massachusetts majoring in Sign Painting & Hand Lettering. I worked for a few sign shops north of Boston where I learned gold leafing, pinstriping, painting carved signs, truck & boat lettering, vinyl decals & much more. In 1997 I opened my first sign business Grey Wolf Graphics. Projects consisted of lettering signs, boats & trucks in paint, gold leaf and vinyl. Work was steady with customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire & Maine. January of 2009 I opened my Etsy store called Fairy Dust Decals. After many years selling on the ecommerce platform with over 30,000 sales and consistent 5 star customer reviews I knew I had to change things up and expand to offer items on my own website.
