I'm working on beaded necklaces to sell at the Art Guild of Pacifica Open House in December. These can be custom designed for you in various colors and designs, or you can purchase what is available. Of course my oil paintings are also on sale December 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I hope to see you there!

After winding up the 50-50 III Show project, my husband wanted me to recreate one of his favorite pieces, so I did this piece called especially for him.
I am currently working on another inspired from my birds in the 50-50 project. It is a 12" x 16" painting of a Great Blue Heron.
