Thank you for visiting.
August has arrived. It’s cooler now and although it will warm up again I’m sure before Summer ends, I’m feeling the teeniest bit of Autumn in the air. Some trees even have a few leaves turning!
Soon the students will be back at App State, the football will start, fall festivals will get underway and the hustle and bustle of things before Winter sets in will be felt by everyone! Yes, traffic increases, but I like the vibe of Fall, and it is so pretty here that I understand why people like to come up to Boone!
To the left are some handmade leaves that I made and sold. They make nice Autumn decor as they are, or can be used as little trinket bowls!

about
Nature
The natural world influences the type of things I create more than anything else. I am fascinated with it. I use nature both as subject matter and materials. I am always looking for small natural items that would transform into a miniature environment.
Craft
• Paintings – traditional and digital
• Illustrations
• Home Decor & Fashion
Garden
I grow lavender and other herbs and flowers, as well as some food. The garden is an inspiration to me in so many ways.
The area where I live, close to the town of Boone, NC, is a small farming area. I live on a NC Century Family Farm. This designation was procured by my Father in the 1980’s after he worked with the state of North Carolina to designate it as such. Even though Boone has changed so much, thankfully there are still people here dedicated to rural life and working with nature.
and other things:
I work at the Explore Boone visitor center. I’ve done this for about a year. It is a really nice place. If you call or stop by, it’ll likely be me that you are talking with.
I wrote and illustrated a picture book, self published through Amazon. That was a fun challenge. I have more ideas for writing and publishing…always working on what I can learn or do next!
I also have a vintage and handmade Etsy shop that I’ve maintained and sold through since 2011.
I will be updating this website weekly, so please check in often for seasonal art and photography.
