Who am I?

I am a mother, grandmother, and greatgrandmother. I also am an artist who has been drawn to creating art for 55yrs or more. Having loved art since I was a small child I would enter those 'Draw Me' contests only to be disappointed when I received back letters saying I was very talented and please try again when I am older. Now, I understand it meant when I was old enough to have my own credit card. Ha ha

I am mostly self taught but I have learned a lot from a large number of books on art and in these last few years from other artists on internet art boards. I am presently a moderator of one of the largest, if not the largest art group site on the internet, Wet Canvas. I also belong to many other art message groups.

My art has earned ribbons in shows, and I have art in many homes across the U.S.
I use many different mediums, supports, and styles, as I tend to get bored doing the same thing over and over again. I have a bit of attention deficit but for the most part art is the one thing that can hold my attention for hours at a time! I create art because something inside my head tells me I must. It is a love that even though it sometimes goes on vacation, it always returns to me.

My hope is that you too will find something among my artworks that you will fall in love with.

My thanks to you for your visit, and to all who purchase my art, many many thanks to you for helping me support my artistic addiction.
Thank You!

Mission Statement
My goal is to provide all visitors the opportunity to own a one of a kind piece of artwork. Perhaps an original painting for your wall, or a small ACEO or SFA for a coffee table book. This site will offer artwork in many mediums, styles and sizes. All offered by the original artist, which in this case is me.
Or for example, artwork on a bread box, small table, footstool, letter holder, etc, etc. I love to reclaim cast offs and make them new and beautiful again.
I also love to shop at estate auctions, estate sales, thrift stores etc. Occasionally I find wonderful treasures such as vintage jewelry, and other items. I offer vintage jewery for sale, as well as other hard to find vintage items.
Speaking of jewelry, I also make handmade jewelry, necklace's, earring's, and bracelet's. I use all sorts of materials and try to use the best quality.
You just never know what you will find here, from vintage 'stuff', vintage jewelry, one of a kind artwork, or gorgeous one of a kind handmade jewelry. If you don't see what you want today, please bookmark this page and come back again. It just may be here tomorrow!
Thank you for visiting!
