I am a woman of varied interests. One of my immense joys and pleasures in life comes from the beauty of creating and decorating. I do not make anything that I would not want to display in my own home. I like to fill my home with things that are gorgeous, warm and inviting and my goal is to bring that to your home, business or occasion as well!
I have been creating original pieces since I started working as a purchasing agent, then bookkeeper for a millwork and construction company over 20 years ago, and would venture into the shop to pick up helpful skills from the craftsmen as they worked. But I didn’t really begin to start experimenting with my artistic side until one day, approximately 15 years ago, when my spouse, while re-assembling a basic white melamine tabletop with chrome legs, inadvertently used screws that were too long, to re-attach the legs to the top, and punctured through the melamine top, ruining it. I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t peeved at the time. But shortly thereafter, my creative brain kicked in, and I came up with a “gorgeous” solution.
I decided to purchase different colors of shiny 4” X 4” tiles that matched my décor, break them, and then create a mosaic top to go over the ruined melamine top. This was my first time ever doing anything of this sort, but that didn't stop me. And the finished top was/is stunning! I recall that my mother-in-law even asked where I had purchased the table. After that, there was no stopping me! This had unleashed my creative juices like nothing before, and my prior experience in the Construction Industry, my 7 years working with my spouse in our own Drywall Repair business and my knack for decorating all came together to create one monster of an Artist, Designer and Crafter Extraordinaire!
As you will see, my style is mostly contemporary. I like to experiment with different materials, so you might be surprised at what you’ll find in my shop. When the inspiration strikes, I’ll simply go for it – it could be genius, quirky, bizarre or even funny. If it doesn’t appeal to you, keep looking and something else will. I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh at every opportunity in life, because life will many times try to bring you down, but laughter can always lift you up.
I thank you one and all for your support of my work. I hope that each piece brings beauty to your home, your body and/or your spirit. Take every possible moment to enjoy your life, and I promise to remind you of the special things about life in my store and in my work.
