Welcome to my world where you'll see evidence of a human being's travels between the two-dimensional worlds of drawing & painting
and the three-dimensional worlds of jewelry, accessory & floral design.
After having tried just about every medium I can think of I'm still on the lookout for new avenues to explore within the constraints of limited funds and time. Among my newly discovered interests are PMC Silver and other metal clay, a fascination with Japanese washi and Pat Catan's scrapbooking papers and a renewed interest in digital photography. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of these interests bleeding into one of my Etsy shops before the holidays. I guess I just enjoy making things!
I began drawing & painting at the age of 18 months with Stick Figures in White Chalk on Mommy's beautiful kidney-shaped mahogany end table.
After that, academic training in art and art education but spent subsequent years substitute teaching everything but, working as a floral designer and wedding specialist for neighborhood and upscale local florists for over 20 years, and designing and producing one-of-a-kind gemstone, metal & mixed media jewelry and accessories as well as drawing & painting.
The Cleveland Institute of Art and Kent State University, respectively, and working in and around Cleveland, Ohio.
From way back when until now, you've heard the history.
It's a mystery.
Painting, designing & crafting seriously & painstakingly, but not without a sense of humor!
