My love of the ocean often finds its way into the pieces I create, whether it is my jewelry or my paintings.

Being an avid scuba diver and beach bum I find myself using colors inspired by the sea, sand and rich greens of the rain forest. Each of my paintings are as individual in their content as the medium I use to create them...oil, watercolor or pastel.

Precious Metal Clay, sea glass, semi precious stones, found objects, gold filled and silver wire are used in combination to form one of a kind art jewelry.

I make my art pieces as if they were for me. I hope when someone else looks at my work, they find something which is special to them.

As with any of my artistic endeavors, I find it important to have fun with what I am doing and not take myself too seriously.

Enjoy!

September trip to the Big Island -

Hi everyone, my trip to the Big Island in September was a great success with the introduction to Precious Metal Clay workshop at the Holualoa Art Center just above Kona.  They have asked me to come back to teach another, which has been tentatively scheduled for November 20, 2010 (cancelled due to conflicts with fundraiser)  I know they have their huge fundraising event during that time, so the workshop may have to be rescheduled for when we return in March. (tentatively scheduled for May)

The weather was beautiful, the water was warm and I did manage to get in some beach time along with jewelry work and ukulele practice.





Healing Dragon - 99.9% pure silver dragon pendant, setting and noodle, holding a square donut of jade, leather thong with sterling silver over brass clasp.  Sold - to Dr. Jan



Dr. Jan and her kitty India
I got the opportunity while I was there to meet a wonderful woman who lives and works in Hawi.  Her name...Jan Ellison DOM, she is a healer and a miracle worker!!! I was really having alot of problems with my back, and she worked her magic so I was almost good as new (for a 62 year old), when I left.  If any of you need healing and find yourself on the Big Island, you should go see this woman, she is great!  You can read more about Jan on her website www.drjanellison.com  

Well, that is it from me for now, looking forward to my next workshop in Calistoga, October 17, 2010 at the Calistoga Art Center and our (Robert and my) next trip to the Big Island.
