As long as I can remember I loved to doodle and paint. While living in Holland for 10 years, I was introduced to the Dutch folk art called Hindeloopen Painting, and started painting large scale items.

Collecting miniatures has always intrigued me, so my goal was to paint this style on 1"=1' furniture. Over the years I have painted and sold pieces in this scale along with 1/2"=1' and 1/4"=1'.

I needed to create a home for some of my miniatures, so Wee Trees came to life--unique tree houses that could house dolls, gnomes, fairies or tiny animals. They are usually in 1/4"=1' scale. I like to call them whimsical scale. No two are ever alike.

My collector cases are also one-of-a-kind using snippets of paper, cards or my own photographs.

I give all the credit to Jesus Christ for my talent.
