As I live through the second half of my life I am learning the beauty of second chances, of the natural world, and simple pleasures. My creations embody these concepts by using salvaged materials, found objects, repurposed treasures, the reimagining of space, and representations of Earth, Water, Fire, and Sky through which Spirit channels. I use salvage, antiques, old jewelry, chandelier parts, found objects and various recycled materials to create assemblages in the form of hanging suncatcher chandeliers, art dolls, and planters.
