A Peek into the Gallery
Glass Art
I love creating pieces using the technique of glass-on-glass for indoor display as well as outdoors for our 4 season Canadian climate. I am new to stained glass and use the copper foil method. I often combine the techniques of glass-on-glass with copper foil stained glass. I prefer to create from my imagination and experiences not patterns. Pieces may be similar but no two pieces will be exactly alike.

Glass-on -Glass in an old antique window. These pieces can hang outdoors in all 4 seasons of the Canadian climate.
Glass-on-Glass inset in various woods. They include stakes to put it in the ground. The wood will weather naturally in the elements. The glass will catch the sun and sparkle and shine.
Glass-on-Glass set in a live edge frame. Can be created for outdoor or indoor display. Beautiful as artwork but stunning with the addition of natural or artificial light.
Painting on Canvas
I am greatly inspired by family, traditions and the 4 seasons of the Canadian climate. My pencil, sketchbook and camera are always close by to capture whatever inspires me.
Acrylic on Canvas.
My paintings are influenced by the medium I use, my mood that day, my surroundings, and the Canadian climate. My intention is not to paint what I see, but to create something new from what I saw and experienced. Original designs with quality artist grade supplies.
Cards, ornaments, gifts & home decor.
Unique, individually created items to enjoy yourself or gift to others.
Handpainted Stationary - originals - some may be similar but no two will be exactly alike. Cards and gift tags for all occassions.
Ornaments - stained glass, glass-on-glass, a combination of both techniques, as well as painted ornaments. Great for holiday decorating but can be gifted year round to decorate a gift or commemorate a special occasion.
I will paint on many different surfaces, new or old...wood, fabric, slate, tin etc.
Truly customize a gift or a home decoration. Repurposed items have their own sense of history to add to a project.
