Studio


I've been hard at work in my little studio these days. I am so inspired by all of the beautiful flowers I see on my neighborhood walks with my son. I decided to take my camera along and snap some shots to use in my work. I love spring!

Jake's Grave Stone



The day after our beloved dog Jake died, I broke up his ceramic dog dish with a plan to use it in a mosaic tribute to him. I couldn't bring myself to do it for a long time, it just broke my heart to think about it. Now, with time, I was able to finish it for him. We miss you little buddy.
