My love of birds led me to build birdhouses from the rescued boards and objects found in my work remodeling buildings in the area.  I use pieces of tin roofs, barbed wire and sawmill slabs.  Then I add seedpods, twigs, vines and mosses. They are designed to highlight the best features of the materials and are easy to maintain.

It seems I’ve always had a pencil or paint brush in my hands.  My love of watercolor has gone from being a passion to a way of life.  Every painting takes me to another level and deepens my desire to create that ultimate painting that says everything my mind has imagined and my heart wants to express- whether it’s when I am taken by the scenery or landscape of a real or imagined place, or a single bloom in my garden.  When I see what the hand of God has so breathtakingly fashioned, I am overwhelmed with a sense of awe and wonder and a desire to capture it with every brushstroke.
