"What Inspires You?"

Vintage Artifacts:

  Clear glass bottles teeming with roses, unpolished silver trays  serving as table tops  and vintage suitcases overflowing with fresh linens.  Old objects used in unordinary ways  ignite  my own creativity.

"Where Do You Find These Pieces?"

Ah, that is the question I am asked  most often and references the individual parts of my designs.  They come from the estates and collections of mothers, aunts, sisters, and dear friends.  My artful life is a treasure hunt for vintage closures, fasteners, baubles and found objects.  The soul of my art wraps itself around the accessories once loved and touched by women; it is with them that I create from something old, something new.

"How Can I Locate You?"

I am in several local shows throughout the year.  (See Schedule of Shows - 2011.)  Select pieces are always available at Swan Cottage, 49 North Gore, Webster Groves, MO.

Additionally, I take commissioned orders with parts supplied by the customer or by me.
