I don’t have a particular method or style to group my creations in. I'm crazy about painting, altering and repurposing anything that stays still long enough in my presence Countless hours go into searching, collecting, rummaging, thrifting and junking for materials I can renovate, redo, reimagine, repurpose, revamp, remake, redesign, re-anything! I am the original “Yorkie-Diva” creating Yorkshire Terrier art and accessories. I have sold numerous Yorkie-Diva pieces throughout the United States, with a lot of thanks to eBay. I am always singing at the top of my lungs (very badly), drinks a lot of very-black Ice Tea, is Team Edward and loves to laugh. My husband Richard (aka Junk Hunk) who lovingly endures all of my projects, assists when power tools are involved. Even though he thinks our home couldn’t hold anything else, brings home a lot of stray furniture. We have two Yorkies (being lucky enough to raise four litters of Yorkie puppies) and a very tolerant tailless cat.
