A Bit About Me

"Feathers don't have to be just a trend.  They're of nature,  and therefore are timeless. " 

I have always been an artist, even since I was a child.  I would go around & draw everything in our house, from my unicorns to tchotckes.  I was always the one to move the furniture around in our house growing up.  I would put my little legs on the wall and push the sofa with all of my strength.  My need for creativity carried on thru school and college.  I took classes in ceramics, metals, drawing and painting.  During college I did some modeling and discovered the fashion world.  In love with that world, I moved to LA for make-up school and worked as a make-up artist & hair stylist in the industry.  I have moved around the country doing make-up & hair in LA, Miami and NY.

 

I've always felt a connection to feathers and have been collecting them all of my life, each one a found treasure.  Feathers are tough enough to weather a storm, yet delicate and soft - ethereal. 

 

So after painting feathers on canvas for years, I dreamt up a more modern approach of visualizing them.  My fashion background, obsession for interior design & creativity all come into play when I'm creating these.

 

Feathers don't have to be just a trend.  They're of nature, & therefore are timeless. 

 

My art is an interesting alternative to framed artwork, & adds a textural element to the room.  They can stand alone or be put into a grouping on the wall.  Personally, I love lining a staircase with them.  They work in all design styles.

While creating, each piece is a unique journey that can take unexpected twists and turns.  I've learned to trust that process.  It's the one place I'm not confined by rules.  There's freedom in art.  

Thank you for supporting artists!
