Artisan Gallery

I am a mixed media artist with eclectic interests. My studio is part art laboratory, part disaster area. What goes into my experiments? Hand cut collage, altered photographs, acrylic paint, clay, found objects and ink. What comes out the other end? An assortment of boxes, journals, mixed media wall pieces, assemblages, cards and prints. 15% OF MY SALES ARE DONATED TO HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS.

I turn acrylic-handled pens and kitchen objects on my lathe. My work combines an eye for traditionally beautiful patterns, contours, and proportions with a bold sense of color. I channel that into creating useful household items that offer a ray of sunshine to our everyday activities. I also stitch temari that will brighten any corner of a room.

All my work is handcrafted to Inspire, Refresh, and Uplift *
I create 4- Dimensional Scented Paintings using a mixed media technique, acrylic paint on canvas. My aromatherapy hot and cold wraps and packs are lined to create a pillow like feel and outer fabric is made with 100% cotton fabric and thread. The hand poured resin coasters, key chains and serving tray are infused with genuine plants and flower petals. The diffuser jewelry uses an all-natural technique by means of semi-precious stones.

I’m a self-taught paper quilling artist; refining my craft with repeated trials and practice. I find happiness in creating beautiful and colorful designs made from paper strips. Paper quilling involves strips that are rolled, looped, curled, and otherwise manipulated to produce shapes that combine to create designs.
