Origin of WreckaStowe
The seeds for WreckaStowe were planted many years ago by two people, my grandmother and my lifelong musical hero. Growing up, they both instilled in me a love for creativity in general, and many other things. My grandmother and I used to spend a lot of time at Mosqueda Center doing arts & crafts with other crafters, working on projects and learning new techniques. She taught me how to do all kinds of craftwork and to be creative with everyday items. I can still remember very clearly the day she cut off the leaf of my cherished stuffed doll because she needed a piece of felt for one of her projects! At the time it was no laughing matter in my eyes, but today I can laugh about it and the many other times we shared together. My grandmother was a very special woman and instrumental in my life in more ways than just arts & crafts, so was my hero. I owe everything to them. In later years, that creativity has grown to include photography and digital art too.
​
WreckaStowe is not only an outlet for me to share my art and creativity, but it's also a way for me to honor both of them, and the tremendous impact they've had in my life. <-- Words cannot even begin to adequately codify that. Some of the seeds they planted took a long time to grow, but finally came to bloom when WreckaStowe the art shop was created in 2005 and officially opened its doors for business in 2013.

I hope that you will enjoy my creations as much as I did in making them. :0)
