It is a pleasure to share my artwork with you. I love exploring a variety of media - illuminated manuscripts, one-of-a-kind
jewelry, fused glass and watercolor paintings. Below are a few examples.
I invite you to please browse through each area of my gallery at your leisure - and enjoy!

ONE-OF-A-KIND JEWELRY
Mainly I work with natural materials - pearls, semi-precious stones, leather,
even fossils - but crystal and handcrafted glass catch my eye, too.
NOTE: My jewelry gallery is temporarily unavailable, as I get new pieces
ready for you ready

This watercolor is of the Big House at
Kingwood Center, which sits amid
beautiful gardens and green-
houses, in Mansfield, Ohio . It's all
open to the public - and at no charge!
This spring painting is part of a
four-seasons series. All of the
originals are already sold, but note
cards are available at the Kingwood
gift shop, and limited edition prints are
also available there as well as here on
my website, at the Mansfield Art Center
GLASS
I have been studying kiln-fired glass
with Susan Kutno at the Sarasota
School of Glass (wonderful instructor!)
and have done mainly table top pieces
and necklace pendants but also a few
functional pieces, such as serving plates
and dipping sauce bowls.

ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPTS
As I began studying
manuscripts from the Middle
Ages, I realized that I could
combine several of my
interests in one form of
artwork.
And so it is that the pieces of
this type that I have done
incorporate watercolor
painting, calligraphy, Celtic
knotwork design, and - in
some cases - my own poetry
or text.

PAINTINGS
Watercolors are another one of my
passions, especially botanicals.
I've gone through various
phases, sometimes painting the
same subject dozens of times.
There was the Trllium series, then
Hostas, Amaryllises. Currently, it's
Orchids, thanks in part to the
extensive, inspiring orchid collection
at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in
Sarasota, Florida.

I just LOVE this! (Author unknown) [This has nothing to do with this website except that I love it.]
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and
well-preserved body, but rather to SKID IN SIDEWAYS, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other,
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, what a ride!"
