There are so many things I love to do!
I have tried a little bit of everything over the years... and what I enjoy the most is the creating process. That ah-ha moment when you get a spark of an idea... and can't stop until you get it in motion.

My first love (art-wise) is photography. I became the family photographer at the age of 6 ... and graduated from the NYI of Photography in 1990. Over the years, I have tried my hand at all kinds of art mediums. Not a day goes by without me taking a photo... or working on an art project. You will find all kinds of things here... from needlework, to artwork... to jewelry fabrication.. and more.
I love to work with recycled/ upcycled materials... and an ever increasing number of items in my shop have a re-purposed element to it. I even use recycled materials in my shipping.

I am committed to providing excellent customer service; and am thrilled that in all the years of selling on-line (since 1998) my feedback has been 100% positive.

I started making and selling things on Ebay in 1998, and here on Etsy in 2008. I have done numerous shows, been published, and helped start and run a gallery in Albuquerque, NM.
From 2013-2019, we moved back to my home state of PA to help take care of my mom. I became a juried member of the PA Wilds and the Route6Artisan Trail, received the TOP6 Artisan Award, and was a featured artist at the ECCOTA Gallery. I was also instrumental in starting an artisan gallery co-op space which in turn, won some fabulous awards.

I am married to the love of my life, and we currently live in Alexandria VA. We have 2 grown children, and a gorgeous granddaughter.

My goal is to become the best human I can be, and to live life in an artful, creative, and caring manner.
