As a child who spent much time in New York City, I was fascinated by Art Deco work in the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Grand Central train station, and The Plaza and Waldorf-Astoria hotels. It was there I began to see how exquisite and refined fine serving china, a stylized elevator door, colorful tile work, or even a hallway vase could be. While majoring in Art and Journalism in college and at two Fine Art academies, I won many design contests and sold many of my creations.

My working career has been in Public Relations (The Beverly Hills Club, Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce), Graphic Designer and Producer of advertising materials (Auto Club) and as an Art Director/Editor/Photographer for magazines (Architectural Digest, Bon Appetit, in-flight magazines for Delta and others, Hot Rod, Motor Trend, Skin Diver and many more), publications for major corporations (Sears, AAA auto club, etc.), travel brochures (American Express, Continental Express and others), publicity and publications for government entities (LA's Metro Subway), banks (First Interstate and others), oil companies, car dealerships, and a myriad of smaller firms. Design has been an integral part of my life.

Everything in HamiltonBay is from my own personal collection. I decided these wonderful things should come out of the closets and drawers and cabinets -- and have a new life in a new home -- to be used and admired once again!

My shop is named for Hamilton Bay in Bermuda -- a place dear to my heart.

I am a member of Etsy Vintage Team (EVT), Vintage Etsy Society Street Teams (the VESTIES), Etsy Success, Vintage Lovers, the EJ Art Treasury Promotion Team, and Shop Your (heart) Out Team..

Thank you for visiting HamiltonBay! And visit periodically, as I am constantly adding great and interesting vintage pieces!
