I’ve been busy creating little works to sell at The Gallery at Town Center in Lake Forest Park. It’s a lovely little shop full of handmade items and beautiful art. It’s the perfect place to pick up a gift for a friend or a special item for your home.
All hearts have wings. Sometimes they are butterfly wings and sometimes they have fairy wings. All happy hearts can fly.
Her smile is enigmatic. Sometimes she looks wistful. Sometimes she looks annoyed. Sometimes she looks amused and other times quite serious. I love her mouth, pink cheeks and big eyes. She lives in my creations and she is my Mona Lisa.
It’s time for a change and a new direction. I’m happy to announce that The Artful Canary.com is my new design home. I working to put some pieces in my Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheArtfulCanary and continue creating mixed media with a paper focus, that makes my heart sing.
When we got the call that school was closed for the day due to 6 inches of new snow, I must admit I was relieved. At last an excuse to hide away from our schedule and just concentrate on some forgotten projects that were calling my name….
Combining all of my favorite things in this little beaded winged heart. I love using my Accucut to cut out all the cool shapes!

I had some 4″x 4″ wood squares that needed some paint. The text was taken from some old airplane maintenance books from the 40’s. I love combining the technical verbiage with the loose, colorful imagery.
This heart is for Ann.
A Birthday valentine easily mailed to my friend. I love to paint backgrounds and then figure out the best place to cut out the heart shape. It crops and creates a unique background for my little art angel to live on.
