“I ENJOY INCORPORATING ITEMS FOUND IN NATURE.”
I have been exploring all types of Art and Crafts since I was a child. I have taken many formal Art classes in drawing, painting, & sculpting. The last several years I have been learning through books, on line class and from my peers. I enjoy incorporating items found in nature like; sand dollars, other shells, pearls, sea glass, stones, crystals, drift wood and more. I use watercolors to paint on the sand dollars. I paint on a protective coating so they are not fragile. I also enjoy working with polymer clay when sculpting. It fires at a low temperature, comes in many colors, and blends well to make some of my own colors too. I use many objects and techniques to make Jewelry, Figurines, Art boxes, 3D Beaded Humming birds, and more. Recently I’ve also been incorporating wire wrapping techniques. I have entered my work in local fairs and received first and second place ribbons. In March of 2021 I was featured in the Press Democrat in the Sonoma Towns section.
