Maylon House

Do you love this stunning old house as much as I do? I chose it as my first subject in 2014 when I decided to transition from painting with icing on cookies to painting with PAINT on paper! I’ve chosen it for my 2017 calendar~ Huntington and its Neighbors. I’ll launch calendar sales Friday, Dec 9Continue reading “Maylon House”

It’s fabulous. Inside and Out. The $31 million John Deaver Drinko Library, opened to students in 1998, is a stunner.

My Kitchen Art

I love art in a kitchen, particularly “fruit art”… here’s my proof: I painted this little still life in 1985… You can see the date on the right… Of course the lace edging, bow and little hoop are vintage 1985, but I don’t care. And these were cross stitched by my mom. I treasure them. SoContinue reading “My Kitchen Art”

…a little history…

If you are new to my website, here’s a quick summary: After 32 years as a classroom teacher, I QUIT in 2012 to be an artist. (I’m sure people thought I was CRAZY!!)
