Original Art and Designs to delight you.
As someone who understands the fundamentals of color and design, I see things differently. I have worked with large scale legacy projects and created art for major donor programs for local nonprofits. On this site you will find original art and designs made with repurposed materials. I am dedicated to using items that would have been destined for recycling or overlooked as valuable to create original art designs.

Art & Community
Over the years I have worked in many mediums, clay, wood, metal, watercolors, oil and acrylic paint, paper mache, ink and more. Once I had a family, I created hands-on-art programs for children and became an Art Literacy Volunteer in the schools.
When I lived on the East Coast I worked in printing and publications in both New York City and the Capitol Beltway Area while doing freelance graphic design. After moving to the Pacific NW I used my art and sales skills to create original art for marketing and fundraising for nonprofits in Portland and Seattle. Of note are Community Warehouse and Lan Su Garden.
Several times a year you will find me doing a POP UP ART sale at GHM Boutique in downtown Beaverton, Oregon with a portion of the proceeds going to help local Veterans that the organization supports. Since its inception, I have been a featured artist at A Framer’s Touch Gallery Annual Tea Bag Pop Up Exhibit in Forest Grove, Oregon. You can find my work there starting on April 26 through May 27th, 2025
ART that speaks for you
I currently accept commissioned projects. I work with your business or organization to create custom art for marketing & promotions or fundraisers.
