Welcome to My Website!

Welcome to my website, featuring artwork and handcrafted jewelry pieces. I love to create, and owe it to my husband for helping me to get this website going and pushing me to update it!
I was born and raised in Frederick County, Maryland. Always doodling and drawing as a child, it was with encouragement from my artist mother that I began to pursue art as a young adult. I joined the Frederick County Art Association and through this group I participated in gallery shows and even held my own solo show, entitled Mixed Emotions. The show featured paintings and pastel pieces inspired by my travels at the time.
I work full time managing the front desk for a busy veterinary office and when I am not there, I continue to paint and make jewelry. Creating is my passion and serves as stress relief for me. My work is mostly nautical in nature, including a Maryland Lighthouse series that I have been working on for a few years now. I am currently 9 lighthouses in, and all prints and notecards feature a history of the lights, written by me, on the back.
I have taken a bit of a break from the lighthouses to pursue a fun series of Celebrity Owls. This series began with Sir “Owlton” John and includes my latest piece, “Kathie Lee Giffowl and Hodowl Kotb”.
My jewelry began with beaded pieces and polymer clay and has advanced into Silversmithing. I started making Sterling and Copper pieces in 2015 and fell in love with it right away. I spend a great deal of time working in this medium now, and have even started making pieces that include small hand painted artworks protected under glass. I also work with sea glass, which is a passion of mine as well. One of my favorite things to do is go to the beach and search for sea glass pieces and shells. This is heaven for me..the perfect day!
I now sell my work in a few art galleries and shops on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, including The Green Phoenix in Easton and Dragonfly Galleria in St Michaels. My Etsy shop is also in the process of being brought back up and updated as well.
