Unique Handmade Jewelry, Colorful Scarves, Fine Art Originals and Prints, Flower Hair Accessories, and Blank Note Cards. Materials I love... Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor, Mixed Media, Upcycled and Recycled Materials, Printmaking, Collage, Metal Washers, Beads, Leather, Fabric, and whatever else strikes my fancy at any particular moment.

All of my items are handmade with care. I have always had a love for art and have considered my personal style as one way of expressing that. I love experimenting with new styles and materials and thus, the eclectic nature of my shop.

I look all over the place for inspiration. As an art teacher, I am constantly inspired by both my students and the research I do in preparation for lessons. I am inspired by patterns and colors. Nature is a constant place I return for inspiration. Everywhere I look, I see things that inspire my art-making.

I have always loved the quote from Picasso, "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." I feel that making things with my hands does that for me. It makes my life more full. I am absolutely enjoying the art-making journey that I am on and can't wait to see where it leads me.

Thanks for visiting my shop!
