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.

a hint of what's to come.....
just a few of the 'ingredients' i added last night to some bowls of bead soup i am cooking...shades of olive green and pink....stop by soon to the the finished dish!
Play.......Play every day.......creative ideas are all connected......once you put action behind your ideas they begin to multiply like bunnies.....one idea, a bit of inspiration, leads to the next, then the next.....before you know it you will find yourself always with pen and paper in reach to keep track of your ideas....
Give thanks, and give it often, for the inspiration, creativity,the talents and gifts you have been given .....whether it be to God, the universe, or whatever name you give it.....give thanks.
I am a self taught multi-media artist. I have a love of vintage, homey, comfort-foods type of wares that are rich in colors, textures, and life, with a bit of passed-down-for-generations-with-a-bit-of-history feel to them.
