I've decided to start selling my artwork on a "made to order" basis. It's time I did more with my talents! I specialize in handmade books: journals, wedding books for pictures and/or guests, baby books, family photo albums. I also make handmade mermaid dolls for little girls. I will be posting pictures soon!

"THE ARTIST"

She pented land and seascapes, and she didna pent them ill,
And tuk leeberties wi' Nature for to mak' them finer still.

She pented a' her simmer skies a double extra blue,
Nae Antrim sky since Adam leev'd had ever such a hue.

She acted very leeberal to mountains as to height,
And gied them a' a thousan' feet aboon their size by right.

She even in her picters wad the times and saisons change,
Had new-born lambs at harvest time-a thing we thocht
was strange.

"Imagination, aye," she said, "should guide the penter's hand,"
And that, of course, explain'd the things we didna understand.
