I found this wonderful cabinet at Antiques by the Bay in Alameda, CA. It was originally oriental, I pried off the Asian decorations, sanded it and made it my own :). Lucky for me, it now resides with a wonderful collector in South Hampton.
Found objects become treasures with a little elbow grease, paint and imagination!
These ghoulish Jack 'o Lanterns were created with paper mache, using a wonderful antique German chocolate mold. The trims were all made using vintage materials. You can find the plain cardboard cones at Michael's!
I made this little Halloween Cat candy container out of paper mache using one of my antique chocloate molds.

What a Wondrous Winter Fete it was!
Thank you Kimberlee and Melissa for including me in your beautiful show, a great time was had by all!
My Bizarre Beastie, I call this painting "Unleashed". He is from my 2007 collection and is available for adoption. He measures 16x20. If interested, please contact me for pricing. Thank You!
I've always had my hands in one medium or another.. from making Christmas ornaments with my Mom to painting sets for the high school musicals.
After several years managing stationery & gift shops, I decided upon a career change. Determined to pursue a more creative avenue I enrolled in a Regional Occupational Training program for one year where I studied graphic design and illustration. Upon completing this program I was awarded a scholarship to The Academy of Art College in San Francisco, and in addition, I was awarded a scholarship by the Society of Illustrators, San Francisco. After college, I worked as a freelance designer for several advertising agencies before leaving work to begin my family.
