New Bern Artists Studio Tour 2024 November 1st and November 2nd
I am one of over 50 Artists in the New Bern area opening their studios to the public.
The New Bern Artists Studio Tour is a free, family-friendly self-guided event. Visit just one or as many studios as you wish to learn how we work and see what we have been creating. You will also have the opportunity to purchase pieces.
Free brochures with the locations of all the Artists’ studios can be found at The Community Artists Gallery, The Bank of the Arts and other locations in downtown New Bern.
Do visit me in my home studio at 286 Gatewood Drive in River Bend on Friday 1st November 5-8pm or Saturday 2nd November 10am-4pm and see some of my latest creations.
Capturing Memories in Resin
My latest commission challenge involved creating pieces which would be given as special remembrance gifts for family members, including five adults and six grandchildren, mainly using assorted jewelry pieces belonging to their loved one. My client suggested suncatchers or shadow boxes but was eager to see what I could create.
My first thought was to make a paperweight using using one or two of the pieces. I researched working in resin which was a new medium for me and began to experiment – the creations grew from there.
Here are just a few of my creations

My Inspiration
Art is in the Details. I love to focus in on the beauty around me and often work from my photos focusing on the intricacy of natures details.
