*NEWS*



Hello everyone- I have been away from my blog for a while and I would like to share with you the reason why. Brian and I are proud new parents of a baby girl. Her name is Kaitlyn and we couldn't be happier. Okay we could be if she would just start sleeping a little more through the night but in all honesty our world has been turned upside down- in a good way. I have reduced the number of shows that I will be participating in but I hope you can still make it out to see me if you are in the area. I can still be found over at Balleycanoe & co., every Thursday, friday and every other saturday, stocking up on salvage materials and visiting the workshop. It's a wonderful place to go for inspiration!

February Sale

Come join me at Balleycanoe this weekend- Feb. 18th & 19th.
It's that time of year again and John is having his big Sale where customers can see what's new in the shop and barn while enjoying the 20% savings on entire stock.(Link is below)

I also know there will be a warm fire in the shop with cookies and hot drinks.
In the spirit of this event I will also be offering the 20% discount on my work. I will be at Balleycanoe on Saturday only but I will hold the sale price through the month of February. If you are interested in any of these pieces, just drop me a note.




Visit "My Etsy page" under the "links" heading down on the lower right for more items and their prices.

Hope to see you on the weekend.

Art among the Ruins Show

I was pleased to see so many familiar faces and to catch up with my fellow artists. It
 was my first time at this event and I really liked the atmosphere of the old Mill, the music, helpers always on hand and even fresh fruit being offered throughout the day by wandering servers.
 
Even the take down at end of day was made less stressful by the owners Dave and Viola who invited all the artsts to stay for an amazing lasagna dinner with wine among the ruins.
Fabulous- I wish they could all be like that.

Commisioned piece











This is one of my latest commissioned pieces. It was a wedding gift for a young couple getting married. I incorporated many of their personal memories, favorite pastimes and experiences.
It was a big hit and I was pleased with how it turned out.


Take a closer look to see if you can tell what materials were used in the Dioramma.
