PAINTINGS:
My artistic journey began with painting, and I have enjoyed every inch I have travelled. Whether I have trudged along, trotted, jogged, ran, whatever the pace, the joy of expression is what I find so very exciting. I hope you the audience can share in my enthusiasm and delight in the beauty of everything around us as expressed on a canvas and with pigments. My media are Oil on canvas, Water Color on Paper, Acrylic on canvas, and some rare pastels. I mainly focus on Oil on canvas and Water Color. I think you will agree with me that paintings bring much pleasure to your loved ones as gifts to be treasured.

HAND-CRAFTED JEWELRY:
I began making jewelry with polymer clay which is a very fascinating medium. It is just an amazingly exciting clay to manipulate and sculpt and create the most delightful colors and patterns. Once I became absorbed in the process of constructing the jewelry pieces, I realized I needed to go to jewelry school in order to create the attachments which are called "findings". There are no words to describe how enjoyable the experience of using all kinds of tools and a torch to make beautiful jewelry that are one-of-a-kind and heirlooms. Some of them are shown here on this platform and in my store. I think you will agree, that they too are beckoning for you to acquire them for your dear loved ones as gift to treasure. If you would like a piece of jewelry specially designed as a gift for you or a loved one, I would be delighted to accept the commission.

POTTERY ARTS:
It is a delightful experience to hand build and wheel throw the pottery displayed, and all the others that will be exhibited in my shop. Pottery arts requires one to be not only creative and imaginative, but it provides a opportunity for one to express the practical and esthetic side of one's personality that is especially appealing. I am motivated not only by the beauty of the end product but the skill required in creating pottery. It is an artistic expression that is truly dynamic and surprising. I hope you the audience will join in the experience and agree that each pot is beckoning to be added to your loved one's collection as an unforgettable gift.
HANDBAGS AND FOLDERS:
I began to design and make handbags for a special audience, but have used them and find them practical and sturdy for the busy person. So I have included them as a part of my repertoire and so they can be found in my store.

HAND-PAINTED CARDS:
When I began painting with water colors, I found the process very challenging, to put it mildly. Because it was very difficult to control the medium, I made a goal of painting a card each day. I thought this would help me to gain some control and to practice my drawing skills. Of course, I did not paint a card every day, because I lacked the discipline. However, I painted a lot of cards and found that my time was well spent because learned a lot from the practice. You can find some of the cards in my shop for your enjoyment. When I go to craft shows, my customers enjoy looking at my cards and apparently feel they make for memorable gifts for your loved ones.
