About
I am a representational painter working from everyday objects, often showcasing vintage items that have been worn by time. The inspiration for this work came while looking through some of my mother’s items. She was an exceptional seamstress sewing uniforms for officers at Ft Leonardwood during WWII. She had a difficult time giving up her sewing machine when she could no longer sew. She will be 97 very soon. The thread box was always a delight to play with as a child.
