In the past i've made jewelry out of my paintings, letter-pressed cards and gift tags, children's books, and broadsides and prints of my paintings. I plan on continuing to make those things, but this year I am also working on puppets, new paintings and some printed books. Visit me here...

I enjoy upcycling , creating new uses for old items. I have created several designs for what would be trash. The Animal Fairy ornaments are approximately three to six inches high, digitally reproduced, surreal , mixed media collage, which are laminated with beaded wire hangers. The smaller fairies (not laminated) make excellent gift tags. Soda cans and discarded cardboard cutout design push pins & magnets. Soda cutout designs for a pair earrings. Cardboard boxes become eco-sensitive gift tags, blank on one side. I find inspiration in daily life as well as an assistant art teacher for 1-8 graders.
