Decorative Art                

I continue to enjoy decorative art, especially painting on items that can be recycled; slate shingles, old furniture, jars, coffee cans, shot gun shells painted into Santa Christmas ornaments, lapel pins made from skeleton keys and wooden bowls.

I studied extensively with nationally known decorative art teachers Jane Mayberry, Tina Norris, and Cheri Rol, to name a few.  I also traveled to numerous annual conventions for the National Society of Decorative Painters and for over 10 years attended the Heart of Ohio Tole conventions held in Columbus, Ohio.   

Pictured below are some samples of my decorative art; many of the items shown have been sold, however I do accept orders for custom work.
