The Smell of Orange Blossoms.
Art Show this weekend, March 15-17.

So slather on the sunscreen, wear your floppy hats. It’s t shirts and shorts weather! I am not going to complain about the high temps so soon…we have had a cold winter so I am ready for the heat! I will be in booth 83. I am so excited to roll out my new designs for 2013. I have designed a pomegranate series of sugar/sauce bowls, pom. ornaments, and…
Hope and Glory
This handmade tile is made with the passion of Hope! The story of the red bird is that he never leaves. The red bird, like a cardinal, stays through the summer and stays through the winter. He is not a migrating bird. One time I heard a christian recording artist in an interview tell how he told his son he is like that red bird. He will never leave him, he will stay through all seasons. Well, let me tell you, I just about choked up. We all want someone we love to never leave us. And so I…

I saw this view last summer while we were visiting Gettysburg National Park. The fence and the clouds are what first inspired me. The buildings are the Abraham Trostle Farm. The 9th Massachusetts artillery battery made a stand around the Trostle Farm on July 2, 1863. There is a hole that you can see even in my painting where a Confederate artillery shell went through the bricks of the lower top part of the left most building, a barn. I started this pastel painting with several photographs and some great memories. I’m happy with the results. Gettysburg National…

Secret Door Candelabra
This unique shrine- like ceramic candelabra is a one of a kind piece, hand – built from a high fire clay and kiln fired multiple times. Whimsically inspired from the southwest desert colors and foliage. This extraordinary art piece could be handsomely placed on a dresser or buffet. Adorned with white lilies, orange trumpet flowers and a heart where love grows, and low relief cacti climbing up the side it gives a calming glow. The lamp offers a place to hide a key or a note from a long lost lover. It measures 11 3/4″ w x 11″ H x…
