My story is a simple one. It is not riddled with the Hollywood vision of a troubled, pained, starving artist, but just a person who has always loved to make art.
I have been creating artwork my whole life. I discovered photography about 20 years ago and have found it to be a great tool to express what's going on in my head. My work has an on-going connection to the past, which in my own way I am trying to preserve.
I don't fit into a nice tidy category. My work is mostly imaged based, but I look to painting, incorporating found objects and in general breaking the rules. I like to repurpose items and present an everyday object in a different way.
Besides my artwork I spend lots of time in my garden and antiquing, always exploring what is out there to be discovered.
My other passion, which you will find in my shop is SOAP! I have always had a nose like a Bloodhound, so I am very aware of scents. I took a class for fun and fell in love. Making soap feeds a different side of me, the one who gardens, cooks, is health conscience and of course likes a fabulous smell. I have been a soapmaker for over 8 years and have tons of fun with it.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
