ABOUT ME: It truly is a sentimental Journey as much of my artwork is inspired by things in my life that make me feel sentimental. Whether it is working with vintage photos of family, working in my garden, collecting antiques, or collecting my favorite quotes, which I love to incorporate in my artwork.
ABOUT MY ART: ♥ I consider myself a mixed media artist. When I was a kid, I drew all the time. In fact, I'd fill a sketch book and my Mother would buy me a new one. I started painting as an adult and took a few painting classes but most of my work is self taught. I love playing with all sorts of mediums and experimenting with various techniques, surfaces and supplies. In addition to painting, I've dabbled in fiber arts, working with paper mache, stained glass. You name it, I've tried it.
A couple of years ago, I started messing with collage and altered art and naturally transitioned into making soldered art jewelry.
ABOUT MY SOLDERED PIECES: I use only lead free solder. Some of the designs in my pendants are created digitally, some are little collages under glass and some are little miniature paintings. I love to recycle so In the future you will see some more of my broken china jewelry in addition to stained glass jewelry created from my glass scraps. I take great pride in creating these little wearable pieces of art and make sure each one is polished so that it is ready to use or wear when you receive it. At the nudging of some of my customers and friends, I recently started making custom photo charms and ornaments. I have several other custom projects in the works that will be added to my shop in the near future. I'm always happy to do custom pieces and I'm very easy to work with so if you don't see it in my shop, don't hesitate to contact me with your request.
