About Daymaker

who we are
Greetings
Daymaker Readable Art is chiefly my brainchild. I dreamt it. Breathed life into it. And nurtured its unique personality.
As the Proverb goes, It takes a village to raise a child. So is true with Daymaker Readable Art. I have assembled a talented team of highly skilled people who design, write, draft, craft and curate all things interesting.
As individuals, we care deeply about our work and love what we do. We work from the heart and laugh a lot. We’re artists, collectors of dazzling words and graphics and art. We carry notebooks and cameras, we listen, collaborate with others and aim to create an experience with every issue.
Here’s an informal meet-&-greet :
Creative. Resourceful. Fun/Funny.
Laughter.
Hold on let her overthink this. HA!
I remember people’s names.
Mom to (( Hunter )) and Grandma to (( Elizabeth, 7 and Malachi, 5 )).
I suddenly & shockingly became a widow. For the record, I can’t stand that word.
in the Motion Picture Industry doing lighting with my husband, Peter. My title – Assistant Chief Lighting Technician. I was fortunate to have been to the places, stood in the spots and experienced the thrills that are the substance of every film fan’s dream. I share a behind-the-scenes story every month.
south of DFW. Although my homeland is Big Sky Country, area code 406, aka Montana. I miss the mountains, rivers, Parks, people. However, I do not miss the LONG winters. HA!
clever words and ideas, music, quick wit, lemongrass + ginger essential oil combo in my aromatherapy diffuser, sunglasses, turquoise and silver, wind chimes, landscaping with steel.

I AM THE FASHION | STYLE | LIVING SPACE CONTRIBUTING EDITOR FOR DAYMAKER READABLE ART.
Cheryl and I go back 15 years when she first booked an appointment with me to get her hair styled. By the end of the first Session, it felt as though we’d known each other forever. Instant click sort-of-thing. Cheryl’s always complimented / remarked on my style – clothing pieces + shoes + jewelry + accessories. She asked me if I would be interested in being the Fashion + Style + Living Space Contributing Editor and share my ideas and tips and tricks that, frankly, have always come natural to me with Daymaker Readers.
Yes, I will, was my response.
A little fun fact about me is that I’m very budget conscious so my thoughts, tips, tricks, suggestions are super affordable. And I’m excited to share them with you!
I’ll be popping in with columns frequently on the 5 for FRIDAY episodes so keep an eye out for me.
Here’s an informal meet-&-greet :
Laid back. Happy. A secret keeper.
A crackling fire. A running stream. Saxaphone.
Outdoor grills fired up and cooking something wonderful. Lavender and Lemongrass.
What truly makes me happy is making others happy.
Mother to 2 wonderful sons. I have 2 stepsons, 1 beautiful stepdaughter-in-law and 2 adorable step grandsons.
I have been married to the love of my life. I am a girly-girl and he is a 6’4″ biker dude. We’re a perfect match!
I’ve lived in the Dallas, Texas area my entire life. You might say I’m one of the last few native Dallasites around town.
As a hairstylist and esthetician for 30 years.
Great bags. Shoes. Jewelry. Clothing. Scarves. Treasures I come across when I wander in a thrift store. Same – treasures I’ve collected over the years that are displayed in our home. Cooking. Creative food presentation for a chill lunch or dinner with my husband or a group gathering.
Once upon a time in November 2017, a free, small paper was born in two Texas sister towns. Its name, DAYMAKER WEEKLY READER.
It was a hip, happy-vibe publication: humorous and heartfelt stories, trippy trivia, fascinating facts, extraordinary café recipes from the Hippie Cowboy, eclectic art and ideas all crafted and presented in a once-a-week read.
“Love, love, love your Reader!”
“I laughed out loud at ‘Grown-Up Pains’. Super funny! The issue was first rate as usual!”
“Very uplifting columns and quotes. Thank you!”
“My husband passed away a couple of months ago. I just read your Daymaker. It brought me the first laugh I’ve had since his passing. Thank you.”
“Hi, I was driving through your town after visiting family. I saw your DAYMAKER and I am hooked. Good Job! …”
“Love, love, love your Reader!”
The number of diverse and loyal readers who told us they either saved or passed along every issue BLEW. US. AWAY.
We were super excited. People were in love with what we were creating. Hello, cool vision affirmation!
A savvy friend said, “Girl, hard copy is so yesterday. You’re making something really great. Why not turn it into a Blog?”
Digital = Color. Room for more art and graphics. Links to superb content we find. And BONUS – not once a week, but three times a week. We high-fived and got to work.
DAYMAKER WEEKLY READER evolved.
And so has its name – DAYMAKER READABLE ART.
We’re so delighted that you’re here!
