Enter Here >> Sculpture Gallery
I had dabbled in some Sculpey knick-knacks but started to attempt “real” sculpture in the spring of 2008 when I took my first sculpture course. You can view my various attempts in the Gallery…
Enter Here >> Photography and Photograms
I began doing black and white photography, including darkroom processing, in 2006. I enjoyed the medium quite a bit but do not currently have the facilities to do much more of it at this time. I have a collection of photographs and of photograms (no camera is involved, you place objects directly on the photo paper and expose it, then develop it as a print) in my Gallery…

An Analysis Of My Painting "The Enlightenment"
I was contacted by a student named Roy who was writing an art analysis paper for a class. The assignment was apparently to choose the work they found most compelling from the student exhibition and write an analysis of it. Roy told me he had chosen one of my pieces, The Enlightenment, and wanted to know if there was any other information about it that he should know. I told him it...

The pommel and guard I did a lost-wax casting in pewter, unfortunately I didn’t have a centrifuge so I melted the pewter in a frying pan on my stove and just poured it and hoped for the best. It actually looks fairly neat, like it’s...

Clothing Design: Wedding Dress, 1991
In 1991 when I was about to get married to Rob, my mom and I went to bridal shop after bridal shop searching for just the right dress. We didn't really find anything that stood out to me, and the price tags would make your hair fall out!
Eventually we decided to have the dress custom made rather than buying one off the rack. Surprisingly, this was a much less expensive option! I sketched out...
Clothing Design: Bloomers, Skirt, and a Blouse, 1991
In the summer of 1991, my (now ex-) husband and I visited my mother-in-law’s house in rural Michigan, (this was before she was my mother-in-law). She had a wonderful antique treadle Singer sewing machine. On a whim one day…
Clothing Design: Corset Skirt, 1992
Here is a corset skirt I designed back in 1992. You'll have to excuse the poor quality of the photos--I hope to take better ones eventually. The blouse looks funny because it is hanging over the edge of a table.
The top of the skirt comes to just under the bust. The skirt is shorter in the front than the back, with a lot of lace... it took me about 36 hours to...
Clothing Design: Quick Dress Sketches, 1993
These are a few sketches of dress ideas I had. I may make them someday, I may not.
