Awaken each day and rejoice for your blessings are too many to count

Everything comes and goes. I am always amazed at the speed of life! In the blink of an eye, another year of living is gone. Why didn’t I pay more attention? Why didn't I spend more of my time enjoying my days? Why didn't I breathe more fresh air and contemplate more blue skies?
It is, for the 58th time in my life, Christmas. I have always loved Christmas and never had even one cynical thought about it. I love the decorating. I love to give gifts. I love the music, the family, the whole kit and kaboodle of the day. I still wear Christmas jammies and get out the Santa mugs. I cling to the traditions of my family like they were lifelines...and, maybe they are.
Everything comes and goes. But, on December 25th for the 59th time, I will rush downstairs with my family to laugh and celebrate and love each other. I wouldn't trade that moment for all the riches in the world.

New Carolina Summer Sacks
Carolina Summer Sacks are now available in the online store!
I print each of these by hand from my own hand-carved blocks. This big bag is large enough to hold a towel and a book and water and more. With a long strap, it can sling cross body, or you can tie the strap to a shorter length. All cotton, the bags are washable and cold water bleach safe. Every one is a bit different as I create them one at a time. It's always a good day to be in Carolina!
New Christmas Ornaments

I create all of these ornaments from copper, canvas, shell and glass. I really love them. Plus, I can name drop many of these with a beach or person’s name as I create them myself. All-in-all a pretty cool addition to your tree or special gift to give.

A short introduction to my newest Jewelry Collection. I am so happy with it and would love to know what folks think about it. It's just a few minutes long. Thanks for taking a moment to look closer at my work.
Art Lessons
Art Lessons/Artist DevelopmentI teach a limited number of art lessons for children and adults. I strive to develop the potential of each student and find their true artistic path. While the lessons are highly directed, there is also much freedom. It is the only way the student can find their true voice. I start with each student's strengths and interests building from there. It is somewhat self-directed as I take you where you want to go and focus on what you want to learn and subject matter that interests the student.. Lessons are held in my studio located at 4113E Oleander Avenue inside the Anderson Square Shopping Village. All supplies are included. The minimum session is four one-hour lessons. Continuing students will participate in an art show in my gallery with press announcements and a full opening so that they will have a full artistic experience from creation to reveal.
Pricing Adults: $60/lesson for a minimum of 4 lessons (includes supplies). 18 and under: $50/lesson for a minimum of 4 lessons (includes supplies).
ART SOIREE FOR ADULTS Plan an evening of art with your friends! Held in my studio, I will provide all of the supplies. Conversation, good times, wine and art...up to 8 adults can attend. Pricing depends on the project you want to do.
60 New Small Originals!
The store has been updated with 60 new small originals. Small Originals are one-of-a-kind original works priced under $300 and they all can be purchased on the site. Browse the small originals collection.
