About Me
Since early childhood I have loved to draw and paint. After receiving a BA degree in design and painting from James Madison University, I entered the fashion world as a retail buyer and merchandiser. Although I enjoyed my job, it offered me little time to spend with family or to pursue my passion for painting. So after nineteen years, I resigned and am now fully dedicated to my art.
I welcome your feedback and requests. All custom orders are to be pre-paid. Your satisfaction is important to me, and guaranteed.

About My Art
Much of the inspiration for my patterns and designs comes from European fine arts and crafts. Because the pieces I create are beautiful to look at and add elegance to everyday tasks, I consider it “useful art”: a unique piece you will use and enjoy every day.
I use paints which are specifically designed for use on glass. Each piece is carefully painted by me using only brushes, paint, and good light. No stencils are used, and unless requested, I never make identical items. Each design requires many layers of paint and each piece can take anywhere from 3 hours to 3 weeks to complete. Once completed and dried, the paint is then baked to a hard, water resistant finish.
These washable art pieces are made to be used in the home. Water will not take their paint off or diminish their design. However, scratching and rubbing against other dish ware (i.e. in your dishwasher) will. I suggest that you carefully hand wash each item.
