Making art WORK!

Art designed to make more of your everyday moments.

Handmade by Me...here in Texas

More than Ordinary

Many of the items I make have been designed because I could not find what I had in mind. It seems I have a talent for wanting something not readily found, and now I am making my handmade items available in case you too want a little more than what is common.

To Pen or Not to Pen?

You may not have asked yourself that question before, BUT you will once you hold this mesmerizing pen. Each shell being different means your pen is "younique" and that pen thief we all know will finally be thwarted! You will be searching for opportunities to use your handmade pen or at least wave it about so everyone can see what you have and they don't. After you harness the power of your pen, you can feel the calming effect of just holding it as you gaze into the beauty created by layers of shell and the serene underwater landscapes where it all began and you are transported to exotic underwater worlds.

A Little Goes a Long Way

While turquoise and leather are pretty common, I wanted to add little more character so I created these beautiful hand-embossed earrings. It's often the subtle differences which make one stand out...in a good way.

Off the wall Art!


My mother always told me a vacation was worth it because it meant you would remember that time which would otherwise be lost and forgotten with the everyday. She was right. We forget unless we make it special. So why not make everyday a little more special for you or someone you love with a work of art? It’s nice to have time to enjoy art and to contemplate on things, but how much better to bring real art into everyday, to the ordinary, so that we enjoy both more often. I still like to have art on my walls, but I enjoy it more when I make it part of my day.
