My work merges the desire to break free of the everyday with classic and progressive, raw emotion and boldness.

It is truly wild how life imitates art and our experiences shape our identities, dreams, motivations, and thoughts.

My younger, initial inspirations drove me towards the designs and vibes of the Roaring 20s, 30s, early burlesque and the secret lives of Victorian era women. My passion for the historically fabulous often led me to estate sales, where I found vintage accents, forgotten bits and pieces.

I love those forgotten bits and pieces.

Currently, I find that my inspiration has evolved as life evolves. My pieces are sometimes made with thoughts of peace and comfort but also with other valid emotions. It is truly a mixed bag depending on the piece, but each piece is 100% passion and 100% ME. I am always happy to share the story of how a particular piece came to be, no matter how joyous, painful, thoughtful, sad, intense I was at the time of creating it. Such is the rollercoaster of life – to experience the pleasures and difficulties, right?

What are YOU really made of?

Learning the most about yourself can mean taking a long hard look at your guts. How else did the phoenix rise from the ashes? This is how a renaissance can begin!

It is obvious that my inspiration has evolved and is “headier” than it used to be [aaand what?.?.?] I am still (and always will be) very much inspired by growing up in Chicago, my birthplace and true home no matter which path I walk.

Whether it is the vibrant sprays of feathers, showering of sparkling crystals, the movement of brush strokes, buttons, burning myself with a hot glue gun and/or getting spray paint in my lungs, my works are exemplary of my quest to capture the essence of my various emotions in my own unique ways.

By applying the old and new, subtle and decorative, I hope to refresh the sore eyes of those who choose see and reawaken the dormant spirit of those who love to display. If you wish, I shall journey with you, too. You are already invited to journey with me…

Thank you for taking the time to read something that does not matter to most – but – it sure as hell made me feel good to share!

Please enjoy my “art” and if you like anything let me know. I am happy to mKe arrangements to give my pieces their forever home.

Playin’ and displayin’ even when I be old n’ grayin’…🤘🏽😄
