About the Artist
 Creative expression can take many forms, namely music, language and art. I believe that
we are each given gifts and talents by God, but I readily admit that a personal desire
and commitment is required to develop any gift to its full potential.
I have had no formal art education, but I continue to experiment with numerous
paint products and techniques, create new designs, and develop individual palettes for
each painted product. I especially enjoy the revival of graining and faux finishes.
Working from a small home studio, my designs incorporate a deep appreciation of
nature, an interest in angling, and a love of horses and equestrian sports.
I paint for pure enjoyment and I present my interpretations of natural beauty in
a fresh, uncomplicated style. I strive to produce items that are not only decorative,
but functional and durable as well. To have someone purchase a piece of my work,
is the greatest compliment I could receive, for they purchase more than an item...they
purchase a part of me.
Since 1997 when I began offering my work through quality craft and art events, my
artwork has found homes in at least 15 states. My collection includes a variety of
hinged wooden boxes, mirrors, bowls, gameboards, lamps, fireboards, unique furniture
pieces, and occasionally notecards.
I am proud to have received juried status in the York Towne Chapter, Pennsylvania Guild
of Craftsmen. |
