Jewelry Journey: The First Bracelet
Polymer clay came into my world about 2016 when I didn't know what to do to keep myself busy and positive. My mood was constantly low, and I felt that there's nothing for me to do to feel worthy again after losing my job. The side of the bracelet with two flower canes designs"Testing" it...

An Artist? No Way!
I only want to touch on the subject of artist versus self taught because I know how sensitive it could be for some… and don't forget rude and arrogant some. That's why I'm keeping it light, beginning with me as a child. I’m self taught. Can I call myself an artist? Perhaps a "small" one.... Continue Reading →
Paint Brush and Wine
I did my first painting, much to my surprise, in 2009. If it wasn't for one of my previous colleagues, I would probably never have picked up a paintbrush.

Flowers, Flowers Everywhere
I'm walking, my finger ready to take yet another photo. Each time I take the dirt road before our house, I take my cell phone with. The veld is full of mystery flowers, some so tiny you need a magnifying glass to zoom in on the minuscule flowers that hang off the delicate stem. These... Continue Reading →
