Thanks for coming by to see what is new in my life as a wife, mom, and artist. The next couple of months are sure to be busy and exciting as I am making art that will be for sale at a local art show and Etsy, and trying to stay sane with the kids on summer break. Check back often for more details.

A bit about me........

I am the mom of 3, wife of 1, keeper of the dust bunnies and I am a self taught multi media artist.

Everyday images in my life inspire the art I create, which include art jewelry, collage art, decorative paint, altered books, atc's, 4x4's, art dolls, the list goes on and on.

I love getting my hands messy and working with polymer clay, paint, dying papers. Beads are a constant source of inspiration, and just holding a few can inspire the creation of wearable art.

I suffer from a terminal case of 'junk gene syndrome' and I love going for walks, estate and garage sale-ing and adopting those bits and pieces that no one else has even seemed to notice, seems to want, or that have been thoughtlessly discarded. I have on several occasions yelled 'stop!!!' while my supportive and patient husband has been driving down the road to dumpster dive and retrieve a treasure that was thrown out with yesterday's news. Found objects, anything vintage and time worn, or just down right old are works of art in themselves, adding these bits and pieces of history just make a piece of art that much more meaningful.

I am always looking to work with new materials, ideas, and to learn new techniques, not that my studio has room for any new equipment or supplies, but it has not stopped me so far.

I hope you come back and visit often to see what I am working on next, what new things in life we are experiencing.

my newest creation

will be making a near twin to be sold on etsy
tomorrow.
this is a combination
of art jasper, rutilated quartz, the most beautiful grey pearls, and sterling silver wire, and sterling silver chain.


this is the first piece that i have done that is completely wire wrapped. i started on it yesterday in the morning and had it completed in just a couple of hours. just in time to wear on a test drive to my daughters doctor appointment.
