Thank you for visiting.
The Dog Days of Summer. We have had so much rain everything is so lush and green. I did find a couple of leaves yesterday with some orange and red starting to appear. I’m going to enjoy the summer heat while it’s here. I went chasing waterfalls too. Sometimes it’s nice to play tourist when you live in a tourist town.

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.
quote for the week:
“Breathe the sweetness that hovers in August.”
