Artist Statement

I raised my 5 children in NW New Jersey and lived there, except for a short time in NYC, until April 5 of this year. I began making tiny mouse ornaments when my late husband suffered a stroke. Our small cleaning business ended and I needed to find a way to earn money at home as I was his caregiver. When I discovered the tiny mice, I fell in love with the idea of making them myself and so began to fashion as many different personalities as I could think of.

At that time I also became interested in painting. After painting a few items for family and friends as gifts, like wine flutes, goblets, mugs, Christmas balls, napkin rings, and seeing that people really liked my work, I began to paint them to sell. I'll pretty much paint on anything that is not nailed down. Another favorite is the grape-vine wreaths.
