Sometimes I get obsessed with one thing...a phrase, style or color. These are handmade vases out of repurposed containters.

One of my absolute loves is turning something old and worn into something new! A client requested we reupholster her chair for her in a blue and green color palette but with lots of personality.

My process of making art is so multi layered. I usually have two or three pieces I am working on simultaneously, grabbing inspiration from my surroundings and hoarding levels of collected materials!

One of my endearing loves is for paper. I can't explain it....I love it, adore it, hoard it! When I started my stationery line I was so excited to learn about a whole world of stationery/paper lovers that exsisted! I love these folks....

It's not easy preparing for an event at your home. At least not for me with my crazy kid and animal filled house. I do really enjoy the process, especially when it's done.
