Thank you for visiting.
It’s been mighty foggy here for the last week. But, I did have some fun going to the Rick Springfield concert. He still rocks the house, and it was great. :)
Few artists have a song that everyone, I mean everyone, on the planet knows.
The performance was part of An Appalachian Summer. He said coming up to Boone was like a Stephen King movie. Ha! He drove up from Charlotte, and I am sure the fog was fogging.
I hope your last week of July is rockin! :)

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.
