About Me
| I
have loved art of all kinds
from a very early age. I hoped to major in art when when attending
college at Miami of Ohio; however, my father thought art to be frivolous
and insisted I major in more practical subjects. Regardless, I have since always been
involved with art in some form. |
| I
was introduced to miniatures when my husband, Pete, and I bought a gift shop in Aurora, Colorado in
1979. At the time, filling old printers' trays with memorabilia
had become very popular. Unfortunately, the majority of commercially
available miniatures were of very poor quality. Making and selling
miniatures, specifically for the printers' drawers, became my cottage
industry of choice. |
| Shortly after moving to Sparks, Nevada,
in 1982, I attended a meeting for interested miniaturists. From my early
beginnings, my "love for the little", dollhouses, and scale miniatures were
a natural transition. From that time on, I was hooked and have been a part
of the miniature community ever since. I currently am a member of NAME, IGMA, and
my local Sparks Miniature Club. |
| My interests are so varied that
new items are always forthcoming, and I welcome any and all ideas or
suggestions. My specialty remains to be the numerous food items that I
creates, and it is in that area that my work is best known, and where I
achieved "fellow" status with the International Guild of Miniature Artisans.
My work can be seen at various miniature shows around the country. Please
see my show schedule for details. Happy collecting! |
