Art Samples
Here are samples of my own artwork from over the years in different mediums.
Painting
I love to paint. I have experimented with acrylic, water color and oils. It is a family even at our house where we have family painting parties and paint the same subject. I love how they all turn out so differently.

Jewelry and Repurposed Art
I really like making jewelry by re-purposing old metals. I really enjoy working with my hands to turn something old into so something new.
Forktopus Pendant Pin
Using two forks, I pressed and soldered them together. I then used an old silver chain and soldered the circles to the legs to look like the suckers on the tentacles. I then twisted the legs and added the stones for eyes.
Mermaid Tail Pendant
Re-purposed from an old spoon.
Fork Wrist Cuff
Silver fork that I annealed and formed the tines to create a Celtic heart and bezeled the two accent stones.
The Penny Table
I re-purposed my dining room table by refinishing it and turning it into a penny table. There are close to 5000 pennies on this table and added an epoxy overlay for a smooth finish.
Photography and Video
Photography was my concentration in the art program. I love photographing kids and nature. I love what the Earth has to offer us visually and make people look at it in a whole new light.
Throughout my teaching career I have used photography in assignments and impress upon my students the importance of recording your work. I have created videos for my class to help students understand content in a different way.

For 2 years I was the yearbook advisor at Leavitt Middle School and taught our Patriot TV class where students were writing, starring and editing their own video projects for our school TV program.
