For years I scoured estate sales for battered and rejected furniture pieces to restore and paint.  Designers like MacKenzie-Childs inspired me to try unusual color combinations and patterns.  I painted for myself and others and had run out of room for full-size furniture when I happened upon a dollhouse.  A whole new world opened up for me!  Now I focus exclusively on whimsical miniatures.  I prefer 1:12 scale and I have more ideas than time!  As soon as I retire from teaching High School Spanish, miniatures will become my full time passion!  I am currently doing shows in Chicago and creating for individuals upon request.  Thank you for visiting!
