I have been involved in the world of art since I was a child. I grew up surrounded by the arts. My maternal grandfather was a silversmith who made beautiful jewelry. My mother was a textile artist. I was introduced to art shows at a very young age when I would accompany my mother to her shows. I began making beaded jewelry and setting up at local shows during my teenage years. While devoting myself to working with special needs children my jewelry making was put on the back burner. Later with the birth of my son I decided to return to my love of creation, and Kentucky Fusion was started.

              Working with wire hour after hour was very hard on my hands and I soon began looking for a natural lotion product. Each new product was a disappointment. I began researching natural products and began trying different combinations that would produce a natural lotion that was good for your skin. The idea of a solid lotion bar that I could easily carry in my pocket started my development of the lotion bars I currently make. I started making them for my personal use then added additional bars for presents. I soon had request from people who tried them. I began making and selling these bars and soon began a line that includes seasonal smells, masculine scents and an all natural unscented bar.
