Red Abstract with gray geodes and sage colored leaves.

I couldn't help but get my little dog Pongo in the picture. Even he was struck by how beautiful this design was!
In the window - what shall I name this piece?

Cranberry, deep red colored glass, combined with nodules and sage green leaves for accent.


Clear glass and crystal gems were added for accent.



Purple, green and brown Mirror

This mirror is made from an antique purple green and brown flower plate. The egg with the flower was bought in Omak, Washington. Plates, gems and and glass were purchased in Oklahoma.

Fall Colors in this Mirror

This mirror has lots of things going on with it. Falls colors surround this mirror. Antique plates of all different patterns have been attached to the glass mirror. An old "Ball" jar lid was soldered in as well as copper beads, and glass gems. Can you see the terra cotta flowers attached at the bottom, those came from a pot made of clay.

Rose and Pink colored Flower Mirror





This mirror is adorned with two glass flowers purchased in Weatherford, Oklahoma. The ceramic tile came from California. See glass was adorned on the inside edges and those came from a rock shop just northeast of Taos, New Mexico.

Auburn, deep purple and dark burgundy Abstract Cross


Small panel in Antique Western frame.

This looks better when light is reflected from behind. It is a small piece, about eight inches high, six inches across. I have a stand for this, which can be placed on a desk, in a window or book shelves.


A Christmas Scene - heading to Taos, New Mexico

This is a Christmas scene. The snowy hills came from some broken lampshades and the trees are made of evergreen and red colored glass with gold glass gems.
This can be hung in a window or it also comes with a stand. These items will be for sale at the Walden Fine Arts Gallery in Taos, New Mexico.

Three Orange Crosses heading to the Walden Fine Art Gallery

These were made with an antique orange vase from the seventies, orange confetti glass, auburn and gold colored glass gems. Each cross is twelve to eighteen inches tall.

Re-painted an older design





This was a design I completed almost three years ago that my boyfriend bought. I would see it everyday at his house and never felt satisfied with the brown painted frame. After saying several times that I was going to take it to my house to rethink the frame color, I finally did. I painted the frame with a bright turquoise color. Used a rich brown oil paint for the inside edge, then painted the back with a dark charcoal color, which I do on every window design now, then signed it. I like how it turned out and I believe he will too.
