What's New:  Summer was terrific, with lots of varied weather and so much to be inspired by!  Some new sculptural work has come from travels and garden musings; new earring designs with lots of texture!  I have expanded on the theme of the "Slice of  Life" Pins, as I suspected that I would.  These are a great source of fun.  Aspects of this series may bubble up for years to come. There are new palettes of greens and blues and purples...  Some lovely warm browns and golds as well.  Yum!

Give me a call if you'd like to come by and see what's been happening in the studio. Don't forget, I'm always happy to talk about ideas for that special custom piece as well.

This Fall, there are still a few shows on the horizon, and I'm looking forward to them. Please make yourself known to me if you are in the vicinity of my booth!  The shows are such a wonderful way to see my colleagues and meet folks like you who enjoy fine crafted works. My show schedule is listed below.  I've also listed a few of my favorite Maine locations where you can find some of my work this fall and winter.

Stay warm, and enjoy the season!
