Painter, Textile Artist, and maker of all sorts of things... Sharing my creative life!
Welcome!
Welcome! ....As a Painter and Textile Artist....... I also make "stuff". I love the creative process... My design style spans from the charm and unpretentions of the Rustic, Folkart Primitives, the comfortable and pleasant Cottage/Traditionals, to the surprises in Found Object and the mystery of Improvisational Abstract. I am inspired by God and His creation... I design and paint, and sew and knit and carve wood, and enjoy needle handwork... My creative curiosity leads me from one to the next... I enjoy my garden, have a dog and a cat, love the outdoors, and I enjoy my family and friends! I currently live in the beautiful state of Idaho...

A Sad Day...
This is a sad day for my family and me... At 7:30 this morning, the phone rang and it was my mother telling me that my brother's wife had passed away. I'm so sad for Kris (my brother), and their two daughters, Carlye and Solvae. Dana was a special person to everyone who knew her. She had been battling cancer for a number of years. Her tenacious spirit was an inspiration to me. This is a picture of my mother, Dana, and my brother Kris,(he's in the shadows). It was taken a few years back in Donnelly, Idaho at their place in the mountains. I will miss her presence very much. Savor and enjoy the moments you have with the people you love. Each moment is precious and fleeting. It is a sad day...
