Art is my way of feeling present daily. In Photographs, Jewelry, my hand painted furniture all fill my heart with gratitude & love for life.

I enjoy Recycling old furniture into Art.. Old and unwanted; into beautiful and unique ..making everything with Love and a song list. I use music to inspire each piece of Art or picture I take. I love the soundtrack to my life and how my hand feels when I snap a picture or hold a paint brush. My Favorite Art is not possible to pick.. just like picking a favorite color or creature or person.. it’s all beautiful and a gift.
Where do you find inspiration?I was never really wanted or chosen by anyone and it inspired me to take pain and turn it into purpose over the last 40 years. My Mother took an old desks off the curb and refinished it and from that experience I saw something transformed from trash to a treasure. I have that desk in my home now. My Mother passed away and it’s one of the few things I have of hers. She inspired me and still does. Things to do and not to do. She was so talented in every form of Art and she is with me; in me.
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to put a down payment on a multi-purpose property in a little town and create an Art studio and equine center for the community to enjoy for many generations to come. Leaving behind a special place for all to be welcomed and loved.
