Exciting News: My First Time at the Lowell Arts Artist Market!

I’m beyond excited to announce that I’ll be participating in the Lowell Arts Artist Market for the very first time this year! If you’re not familiar with Lowell, it’s a charming little town just east of Grand Rapids, and it’s the perfect destination for a day trip—especially if you’re a fan of local art, unique finds, and small-town charm.

When you visit Lowell, you’ll discover so much more than just an art market. The town is brimming with delightful places to explore. Whether you're a lover of vintage treasures or modern-day crafts, there’s something for everyone. Take a stroll through one of the local antique shops, browse through the adorable mercantile store, or step into the beautiful gallery co-op that showcases incredible fine arts and fine crafts. You’ll find the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one, all while supporting local artists and artisans.

The Lowell Arts Artist Market is especially special this year, filled with an incredible variety of handmade items that make perfect gifts for the upcoming holiday season—or just to treat yourself! From unique jewelry and ceramics to stunning paintings and textiles, you’ll find something that truly speaks to you.

But the fun doesn’t stop at the art market! Lowell has a selection of cozy restaurants and cafes where you can relax and enjoy a delicious meal after a day of shopping and exploring. It’s the kind of town where you’ll want to wander around, take in the sights, and enjoy the friendly atmosphere.

I can’t wait to be a part of this wonderful event and share my work with you all!

Reflecting on a Decade of Creativity: My Journey as a Mixed-Media Artist

I’m thrilled to share that I was recently featured in a segment of Lively Arts by WGVU! It’s hard to believe that nearly ten years ago, I sat down for an interview with Lively Arts, and now I have the opportunity to reflect on how my work has evolved since then.

This recent interview allowed me to look back on my artistic journey while also looking forward to what lies ahead. The changes in my work over the past decade have been nothing short of transformative. From exploring new techniques to incorporating innovative materials, each step has added depth and meaning to my creative expression.

In the WGVU segment, I showcase the process of making paper—something I’ve become quite passionate about. There’s something incredibly satisfying about transforming raw materials into something beautiful and unique. One of the highlights of my work is my use of my grandmother's crushed jewelry, which I’ve turned into paint. This personal touch not only honors her memory but also adds a rich, textured element to my pieces.

I’m excited to share the video with you all, as it captures the essence of my artistic process and the stories behind my work. I’ll also be looking for a way to post my old interview from a decade ago, so you can see the evolution firsthand!

You will find my work at these two events!

December 2nd 9:00am-4:00pm at the Kalamazoo Nature Center

My favorite place to holiday shop is the Buy Local Art and Gift Center at the Kalamazoo Nature Center! They have every special thing you could want to gift. I always have so much fun and it is fun seeing so many of your lovely faces (this is a popular event). I can’t wait to see you there.

Opening December 1st

The Starlite Collective Art Mart in the Park Trades Center (see dates below)! Studio 209 (the Saniwax Gallery) is hosting the Starlite Collective for their yearly Art Mart! You will find a variety of crafts and art. I will bring some Watercolor Paints, Prints, and small originals! It should be a fun event!

One of my favorite places to holiday shop is the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts Holiday Art Sale! Come check it out, the details are as follows…

I am so excited to announce my first catalog collaboration! The well-known catalog Uncommon Goods is exclusively selling my Customizable Trees! As some of you know, I live on a former Christmas Tree farm that is overflowing with whimsical and wonky trees! These fused glass sculptures are inspired by the trees that surround my home! My husband, Jason, makes the tree stumps that are customizable with your name! Check them out on Uncommon Goods!

I am so excited to announce my solo exhibition at the Ludington Arts Center! It will be very exciting to see so many pieces in one place. They have a beautiful gallery, and this should be a fun exhibit. I hope some of you are able to visit!

Wow, was not expecting that! Thank you to the KIA and to all of my collectors who visited during the show!
