I use my local photography to create various gift items such as drink coasters, note cards, bookmarks, magnets and more! I also create fluid art on drink coasters. I have created a Photo Tic Tac Toe Game by combining my photography & fluid art. Check out my website or social media for photos of my work. I set up at various craft shows through out the year, please check out my website for more information.
I am Inspired by the environment of the place where I live, what I see, feel, & experience with the land & the indigenous flora & fauna, are reflected in clay and paint. The body of paintings I have created include oil, acrylic, and pen and ink/watercolors drawings. These pieces reflect the time I spend out in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. The subjects in these paintings are often the physical and sometimes the spiritual reflections recalled from those moments. The pottery I make is primarily hand-built from slabs of stoneware clay. The whimsical nature of the work added to the imperfect slab forms, make each functional piece unique. Animals are carved into the surface of the clay, then painted with underglaze, followed by a clear glaze to provide a smooth, food safe surface, for eating & drinking. These ceramic pieces are a joy to use when serving meals or for just a quiet moment for tea.
I am a mixed media artist living in southwest Virginia for almost 30 years. I create whimsical one-of-a-kind (OOAK) products for use in yards, gardens, and homes from recycled and re-purposed natural and manmade materials, such as:
My inventory of recycled materials change from week to week, therefore, only a limited series of unique products can be created at a time. So, there is always something new and different in the shop!
