life is full of wonder ...

October seventh and eighth found me in my hometown

for the opening of my very first solo show!

Many of my pieces,

from original drawings, to paintings, 

to 

'Rendered in Thread'

I was walking on sunshine, literally!

There is nothing like being recognized by

wonderful family & friends that you spent your

crazy youth with!

I love my hometown of Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania.

It's quaint and quirky, fits me perfectly.

It's full of people and places

I treasure.

There is that magic you live

as a teen and rediscover as an adult.

If you are in the area, the show will be open until 

November 4.

Call ahead to make sure 

Michelle is there.  She is certainly

one of the treasures you should not miss.

I'm so grateful we shared

in art classes together as teens

and have come full circle.

Thank you so much for this wonderful place to feature 

ART!

I still get requests for the charted guide for this design.

These three pieces are how a design can evolve in my head.

acrylic painting that shimmers with gold dust :)
