All of my designs are my own creations. I started decorative painting in the 80s when country crafts were popular. I made most of my furniture items, wall hangings, and craft items as gifts for friends and relatives. I attended a few craft fairs with my painting instructor and friend and sold on Etsy for a year or so, but my crafting has been for personal enjoyment and to provide unique gift items for friends and family. Now that I have retired and moved to South Carolina (a warmer climate from my home in Rhode Island), I would like to display and sell my wares to others who may find my work a nice addition to their home, garden or jewelry box!
