Each of us has something special, something quirky, attractive and captivating. If my pieces celebrate your special qualities, I feel that I have done something worthwhile. My inspiration is the colors of the sky at sunsets, sometimes stormy, with bright unbelievable fuscias, and pastels, and the bluest sky. In the fall the greys and dull colors of the yellowed clouds, contrasting with fall leaves. My inspiration is the 1800's, when clothing was all pretty, every skirt, dress, necklace, and belt was pretty, and women could not even vote. I am so glad to be living now, when I can wear the clothing, design the jewelry, and vote too. My inspiration is the Renaissance, how could it not be?
