As a child I wasn't content just playing with Barbies, I wanted to create earrings for them out of beads and sequins. In my spare time I wove potholders and took them door to door to sell to my neighbors. I had a kick wheel and crafted hand clay pottery as a teenager and went to fairs to sell my work. I also hooked my own designed rugs on burlap and then used them more as wall hangings. So as you can see, I've been working creatively on crafts all my life but have moved naturally into art with an emphasis on DESIGN only in the past few years. I keep returning to a few themes: beading, sewing, sewing beads, pottery. I have grown to thrive on vibrant color, lots of natural texture and a small detail of light-catching (iridescent) medium such as beads, metal or mica in paint. I still hope to catch the CHILDLIKE vision in my work.
Other Interests
Some of my other interests have been: family, Christian charity, recycling, gardening (especially rhubarb, raspberries and quince for pies & marmalade), inter-generational friendships & nourishing. Did I mention I also hand fry my own old fashioned doughnuts?
My studio/boutique/gallery is located in the great room of my home in Central NH and is almost 700 square feet not including going up into the cathedral ceiling! Please visit me sometime and Tell Your Friends. Marketing is the hardest job! (Writing all these descriptions is second hardest.)
