Hi! I try to distill a lifetime of observing nature into miniature works of art to grace your home & life.
I've made art since I was a child, and my favorite mediums currently are polymer clay and found object mosaics.
Gardens, plants, wild animals, my land, other lands, biospheres, the physical & spiritual wheel of the year- all of these inspire me, and then I make my quirky art in response.
I love making original art switch plates so you have a work of art to delight you when you step up to the switch- plus, they don't take up any counter space and don't require dusting!
I've made decorative egg sculptures since I was a child, and I now covers eggshells with polymer clay....most of them turn into owls...and unlike eggshells, they're very, very strong.
The polymer clay works are made of hundreds of little pieces of colored clay, put together in different ways. There's no paint on anything- the clay itself is colored.
After making the pieces, I cure them by baking to become strong like PVC piping.
For larger wall pieces, I'm often inspired by recycled cardboard packing material base. Cardboard shoe inserts? They become owls.
Fluorescent lightbulb packing? They become doorways.

5 out of 5 starsI was given one of these pens for a gift and I love it so much i ordered a set of 3 to also give as gifts. The heft of the pen and smoothness feels super nice in the hand. As mentioned on the web site this is a nice pen to keep in a favorite spot like a desk. I bought a sheath so i could carry mine in my purse but i missed the pen always being by my desk- so thats where it is. These are lovely pens.

5 out of 5 starsI am so thrilled with this switch plate featuring Minnesota's state flower. It's detailed and so beautiful (see close-up) and artist Laura was equally excellent at communicating, careful wrapping and quick shipping. Even the screws are color coordinated!

5 out of 5 starsI purchased two, one for my Grandson's room and this one for the switch next to the patio door. Love them both. A good experience all around.

5 out of 5 starsThe owls were a perfect gift for a good friend. She loves them! And, they are beautifully made. The crafting of the owls over the eggs is so real and well done. I can’t say enough about Laura’s work!

5 out of 5 starsI have taken a couple classes with this artist (she’s a fabulous teacher) and I’m delighted she now has a shop for her intricate and imaginative polymer clay creations so I can buy what I’m a million years away from being able to create. This switchplate looks terrific in my kitchen. Even the screws have been colored to blend in.
