| About the Artist... |
My artistic training came in several forms; I was not only inspired by my childhood experiences, but throughout the years explored a variety of forms of self-expression, including playing keyboard and a short stint with the guitar, dabbling in writing, photography, and even landscape design, to name a few.

Now I am continuing to create stained glass pieces, and have also begun a series of oil paintings. I enjoy painting still life and landscapes. I'm extremely excited to have been accepted at the Sawdust Festival Winter Fantasy for the second year in a row, and although I sold only stained glass last year, I will also be including oil paintings in my booth this year.

The Winter Festival is especially fun as the entire area is decked out in Christmas lights, decorated with dozens of trees full of lights and ornaments, even a play yard filled with snow for the younger guests.
