About me
I feel so lucky to have art in my life. I'm not sure what I'd be doing with my life if I didn't, but I think I'd most likely be working with animals in some way. I've always had a connection with animals, which is something that I think I got from my grandmother, who was also an amazing painter and sculptor. She passed away before I could fully appreciate her, but I think I got a lot of my qualities, both as it relates to art and animals, from her.
The mixed media work I do ranges from digitally restored and altered antique portraits to handmade collages and assemblages. I'm originally a photographer and musician, but for the last few years have focused on mixed media, and it's been nice to be able to work on things at home, rather than having to go out to find things to shoot. By nature, I'm a hermit, so this is fine by me.
More recently I have started making pendant necklaces with my art. It's something I wanted to do for a long time and thought that my art would translate well to this medium and I'm happy to say that it has.
Thank you for visiting my little part of Etsy and I hope you enjoy my work.
