I am so excited to introduce myself , and my work to you. I paint in acrylics on wood sealed for wear and everyday use. I paint on either unfinished furniture or one of a kind vintage pieces . My only formal art classes were long ago at Spokane Falls C.C.,. I took color and design, pottery, and art history classes . So most of what I do is self taught, through trial and error, learning from each piece as I go . My little tables to me are about functional art , loving every little thing in your life that you touch. From the table by the door that holds the basket with your keys, to your bedside nightstand, or the accent table in your living room where you set your coffee in the morning and book in the evening. I love the things in my home to give that special feeling of being one of a kind. I often create special tables/pieces for people to match what interests them ,as well as painting tables that express my current interests. |
