April 2021 It's a new spring and the sun is finally shining in NC. This past month was filled with new work and new family members and lots of joy. A wonderful vacation to South Dakota to welcome a new baby into the family gave me time to recharge and be a kid again. It's amazing what a 10 and 7 year old can teach you about art when they become the teachers. Back to basics and just enjoying the time spent together does wonders for the imagination and soul. |

This is my once per year BIG SALE so if you've been holding off on that one piece now is the time to get it. She deserves something as one-of-a-kind as she is this year.

Inspiration can strike anytime, anywhere and sometimes the strangest things just call out to be created. These past months I have been coming across various pictures of snails and thinking just how beautiful they are. Now, I'm not a big fan and their slimy little trails are fascinating but a bit gross too. |

However, there is a true beauty in their simplicity and individuality. Creating the series gave me chance to challenge myself by creating one per day and pushing myself out of my comfort zone. These little guys are 6x9 blocks and named after French car manufactures, Living with a car nut is rubbing off. |

There are a total of nine in the series and I hope you'll check each one out in detail on my website. What a great addition to a Garden or Sun Room. |

While in South Dakota I had the opportunity to explore downtown and discovered an incredible place. Prairie Edge is a unique Trading Post filled with treasures of the west and true Native American art. Not the kitschy stuff normally found in souvenir shops. I'm always on the look out for quality craftsmanship of this rare and beautiful work. Prairie Edge has fun and beautiful native work as well as other items and the Fine Art Gallery is a warm and friendly space filled with light and a variety of exceptional western art. The exciting news is that I am their newest artist. While on your visit to the incredible wonders of South Dakota (Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Devil's Tower) be sure to stop by Rapid City's downtown and enjoy the shops, galleries and cafe's. It will not disappoint and make sure you visit my work and the other treasures at Prairie Edge. |

Keeping busy Commissions are the name of the game right now. Coming back from four shows in Florida had me busy creating special requests from new and existing collectors. I love and welcome the challenge and hope that you'll remember me when you need that perfect piece. There is no extra charge for commissions as pricing is based on size and technique, but they do take awhile. Typically about 3-4 weeks depending on complexity and back log. If you have something in mind contact me now so I can get it done before the busy summer travel season starts. |

Any Parrotheads out there? This beautiful Macaw named RITA was just completed and is available for purchase. I was able to check this beauty off my Someday list this month. As you can imagine this list is long and grows daily. Rita is as beautiful and vibrant as you can imagine. Using eight different shades of red bugle beads ranging from 3mm to 30mm sizes help bring her to life. You cant help but pet the soft feathers and look into her inquisitive eye. Rita was created on a 15x19 repurposed cabinet door that lets her feathers hang off the bottom edge. | | |

You keep what you create and can pick my brain all day long to satisfy all your beading questions. Most are being held in Charlotte at my studio but we are also hosting one in Easton, Pennsylvania.
