As I boldly dive into the world of writing, with a Nikon as my side arm I am at ease with this transition. I can paint with words and have powerful impact The photos are the proof that I was really here.
This website contains much of what I have done, and hints on stuff I hope to do. No art on this site is for sale. It is just a show case of things I have done.
On The Other hand, Etsy is a place that Is alive and selling the coins I designed and patented 18 years ago. Toothfairy Coins are still selling daily and ship to places all over the world! In the near future Etsy will be the place to go to purchase any of my glass art.
