Artist's Statement
My artwork is diverse and eclectic. I choose to do many types of art from watercolors and stained glass to vintage jewelry art and jewelry making to pebble art. I feel as an artist, there is always something new and exciting to learn. If you stop learning, you stop being creative.

About the Artist
I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. I started drawing when I was a little girl and never stopped. My mother was an artist and I used to watch her draw and paint and was mesmerized by the beautiful drawings and paintings she created and I wanted to be like her. I would draw on any scrap piece of paper I could find as a child, and I still have some of those drawings I did as a child. My love for art has grown over the years. I started out with charcoal, pencil and chalk and then started painting with oils. My mother and I would take an art class here and there at the local community college and that’s where my love for watercolors began.
As a child I loved the stained glass windows in our church. The colors were so beautiful when the sun shone through them. I knew one day I would learn to make them and I have become an accomplished stained glass artisan.
I love to stay busy and I have to be creating something all the time. I started doing pebble art and vintage jewelry art in the last couple of years. I am also a muralist. Having a wall as a canvas is so much fun because you have so much space to work with. I love making jewelry from mother nature’s beauty…sea shells, rocks and gem stones. I don’t make jewelry you’re going to see just anywhere. Every piece is unique and one of a kind.
I chose the name Eclecticity for my company because I think it pretty much says who I am. I’m very eclectic and my artwork is the same.
