I am a mixed media artist born in Michigan and living in Arizona. I work at an antique store in Mesa Az. I have been in retail all my life. I love to decorate, I have done window decorating and have recently put my talents to doing vignettes and painting. I teach classes at Mystic Paper across the street from the Antique Plaza. Some of the art I do: Altered Books, Artist Trading Cards (Atc's), Collage Art, and painting in acrylics.
Can you believe I made both of our shirts! That is back when I enjoyed sewing more than art. I could never find cute cloths for Brian that weren't outrageously priced so I whipped them up. I am surprised I picked the print for my shirt, it is nothing I would remember being attracted to but there it is and I do remember sewing it. The cat is Sherry my sisters cat-dad's cat. Brian was the cutest child ever! He's pretty cute now too!
Summer of 1966. Me on the right with by best friend Donna Toth at her house. Funny what 12 looks like, if you make picture larger I look quite a bit like my son. My cousin Carol on right with me in 1987. I had just been down in Mexico for my birthday. This is in my mom's backyard at the Point.
