As a student long ago I became interested in art trying to keep up with my older sister. However, instead of still lifes and such I was drawn to scribbling flowers and shapes, repetively. I guess it held my attention better than the others. In high school I would turn these works in for extra credit, it worked and my grades excelled and I began taking more art courses. I learned the fine art of pointilism, being so time consuming on the subjects I chose did not keep my attention for long, however I sold quite a few pieces. So I turned back to the drawing board an I found I had many talents. I create jewelry when I'm not doodling or painting. I love to photograph nature when I'm out and about, however, only having a cell phone camera I do the best I can for fun. My photography varies, somedays I'm steady and some not so, that explains the sections I have chosen to share. I will be happy to show the whole picture when someone is interested. Recent years I took up jewelry making and I love it. I will be posting some of these soon. I use crystals, glass, ssilver, gold plated, silver plated, wood and cut gems, glass, and metal.
