I am a mixed media artist and was born and raised on the Monterey Peninsula. The beautiful surroundings have always been an inspiration to me and feel gifted and blessed to have grown up here. I have been interested in all media's of art since I was a young child. As a youngster I made mosaic tile coasters, I was making collages in the 60's and creating paper mache objects de art. I knit, sew, crochet, paint and create 3-D art pieces. I also recycle, reuse and restore many items in my art work. I create and design original jewelry. I restore and renew vintage jewelry, I also recycle jewelry. I am currently working on a 3-D mermaid on a mirror, her hair is real sea weed from Monterey Bay and her eyes are sea glass I collected myself. I am also working on a mirror with Monterey Bay sea shells I collected surrounding it.
I am also a 57 year old Grandma that has four grandsons that are the light of my life. Please visit my facebook/twitter page to view some more of my work. I painted 100 paintings in 100 days. 9 X 12 canvas, abstract acrylic with a collage influence. I used picture's and negatives of human retinas in my work. They are $100.00 each, 1/2 of the proceeds from each painting is being donated to The Blind & Visually Impaired of the Monterey County.
