The artist and her work...

Welcome to my website! I hope you enjoy your visit! Let me start by giving you some background about myself. Ever since I was a little girl I can vividly remember the joy I experienced whenever I was creating something. Whether it was coloring a picture with crayons, making pot holders with the traditional square plastic looms, making accessories for my dolls from clothes to furniture, or sewing my first tailored shirt using a tissue pattern and my mother's sewing machine... To this day I still find I have the same childhood joy. I never formally studied art, but took as many art classes as I was allowed in high school and as an adult I have read many books, taken a few art classes and have been persistant when it comes to learning a new skill. While exploring different art forms I came across the beautiful gourd and fell in love with its possibilities. This website explores the beauty of gourds and also explores my love for other forms of art. If you are interested or have any questions with anything you see on this website please contact me. I would enjoy hearing from you. Also, many of my gourd and fused glass pieces are for sale. Contact me for details and price.
