Montreal Zoo




I took these pictures last year at a Montreal zoo. Aren't they magnificent animals? I can't wait to go back to the zoo this year.

Artistic Doodle Journey #5

Here is my 5th one completed. When I start one of these little "jewels" I never know were they will take me. I am always surprised at the end. I think one of the most exciting thing for me, besides completing the piece, it to achieve a good balance with the different patterns. It really becomes a challenge.

My Artistic Doodle Journey

The best part of this journey is that I am able to start each piece and finish it within 3 days. Yes, it does take hours but it is very rewarding when I see the finised piece. There will be more to come. Actually I need 9 more to complete my commission.

Blast from the 60's

I never thought I would see these again. May daughter did a great job of keeping them safe.



Blast from the 60's

I was recently visiting my mother in Alabama and my daughter, who is now 38, said that she had come across my old Barbie's. I could not believe that she still had them. They are over 45 years old and in wonderful shape. It was tons of fun sitting looking through all the clothes and accessories. It really brought back many memories. My grandkids, 16 and 9, really got a big kick out of seeing the clothes that I had designed and made. Yes, I really played with them!

My Artistic Doodle

This is the first one of a series of 12. I still have to do the shadowing and it will be done.

Sitting Pretty Waitng For Her Dress


I just could not resist to take her without any clothes. I am in awe of how beautifully she has been sculpted.
