I am a self taught, self-representing (self-absorbed?) , self un-employed folk artist. I split my time between IL and AR but I never get too far from the Ozark hill country.

I have a shop on Etsy; and I have items in galleries in Ar and IL.

I have taught some classes and would love to teach more- mosaic , found object art things. I love seeing people "get" it....2muchfun!

I make stuff and I make other stuff with which you too can "make stuff".

I have been doing these silly things for decades. Yup Decades -sigh. Whodathunk?

I have lots of stuff in my studio in NW AR. Give me a holler if you think you might like something you see or something like what you see here- I probably have one somewhere....or I can tellyou how to make one or something or other....

Drop me a line. I love hearing from other like minded souls.

I am a proud Nikon d40x newbie and I am hoping to become a competant photographer.

I have stuff in an Etsy store if you are inclined to take a look:
