My Background
Terre Lamb Seeley has been drawing and painting since she was a very small child. Her family founded the oldest stained glass studio in the United States and she grew up in a home environment of art and art history.

Watercolors and pencils also are great for journaling. I also like to play with collage for certain projects as I love different types of papers and fabrics, especially when bits of actual nature are in the mix- leaves, flowers, bark- whatever.
