We have been collaborating artists our entire married lives. Our work is always evolving. The experiences we share, or individually participate in, become a part of what we create. Bruce photographs and throws pots and I paint and create jewelry and other objects from precious metals. Bruce's photos are sometimes the inspiration or reference for my paintings and often times I sculpt and carve into his pottery. The results from our combined knowledge and skills becomes something beautiful that we enjoy sharing. Enjoy.

My new Painting Series

So I've always been interested and drawn to the events, fashion, and women of the 1920s.  My Mom was born in 1923 and I've always wondered what it was like for her growing up as a child of Italian immigrants, unable to speak the language of their new home.


From what I can see from vintage photographs and from movies set in the 20s, it looks like women left the strangle hold of the Victorian age to the Flapper Era and freedom to dance, smoke, drink and speak their minds!
The paintings posted here have been done from vintage photos I found online and from research on fashion colors and interiors.  My future plan is to gather old photos from friends and relatives and work from selected images.
