Paintings
My oil paintings are inspired by travels in this country and Europe, especially Italy and France; and by the beautiful Chatham County landscape. I work in oils, using only a palette knife to give the textural effect I love.
Spirit Houses
My Spirit Houses tell family stories. These house-like structures, constructed of foam core and rice paper, are covered with vintage family photographs and found objects. I often do commissions to commemorate a family event. My book “Crafting Personal Shrines” (Lark Books) describes these assemblages, and how they are made.

Altered Books
I'm often asked to describe altered books to people who are unfamiliar with them. I try to explain it this way: I start with an old, unloved book and transform it with paint, photos, and other embellishments. The end result is a book that has become a work of art, with pockets, niches, and secret compartments, enticing the viewer to keep turning pages. No altered books are available at this time.
