just breathe

Thank you for visiting.
Can you believe it’s the last week of August?This summer is going by fast. It’s been good. I haven’t been anywhere, but I’ve had a nice summer. My best friend from Raleigh came up to visit and we went to the Rick Springfield concert here at the Schaefer Center..she was a big fan in the 80’s. I was more of a Grateful Dead kinda girl, but I can appreciate talent and Rick has that for sure. And he turns 77 this month and is still rockin’ and cute! On stage, he commented on our elevation here…and needed some oxygen! :)

I might go somewhere for Labor Day, but might just work here…so much to do! I’m working on arranging my work space for fairy houses, herb drying and other crafts.

Travel is fun, but I’m quite the homebody. I love looking at other people’s travel photos! Seeing photos from other places is one of the best things about social media (of which I only have Instagram.)

Hope your last week of August is nice and that you enjoy the days as they are.

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
• Collage and Upcycling

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.

& More:

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.
