Please enjoy all that I have to offer!
All my life I have been attracted to vibrant colors. Since I can remember every time I'd go into a stationary or art store I would gravitate to the items that came in every color. I recently realised that it was the array of colors I was drawn to more than the items themselves,
I just wanted to live inside the rainbow!
When I found water marbling, it was as if all the colors finally found their way to me. Not all of my art represents the full rainbow but more than not when I set out to stay within just a few colors for a piece I usually end up floating all the colors.
If you see an item you really like but it just doesn't fit your color scheme, reach out to me. I will do what I can within my power to create something you will treasure.
Thanks for looking!

Who I am
Born and raised in Irvine, CA, I've slowly inched my way up the pacific coast. I was lucky to grow up in what used to be a small town, I had my early adult heyday singing in a Grateful Dead cover band in Los Angeles, then was able to raise my amazing daughter on the central coast of California in Los Osos. From there I set out to venture north and overshot where I was supposed to land by about 200 miles. Seattle is great and I'm happy to say I lived there but Vancouver, Washington, is where I've been for six years now and unless Canada takes me, I'm here to stay! I am a hockey freak so I don't know why they wouldn't take me but there's all this red tape and stuff.........
As an artist......
Art has been a part of my life since before I can remember and if you'd like to take a closer look, please check out my gallery where you'll see pieces of my art from the 1970's on.
My art has definitely fulfilled the "mixed-media" definition but I finally found my passion in water marbling, also known as Ebru.

As a sommelier, aka "Sammelier"......
Here's the deal. The best wine is your favorite wine, no matter what container it comes in. I'm not here to tell you how to and what to drink, I'm here to help you enjoy the wines you love even more. Join me in learning about what makes wine such an amazing experience, even though it's all just old grape juice.
I can meet at wineries and taste, I can come to your home or office for tasting or lessons, or create an experience that will make lasting memories for birthdays, anniversaries, wedding showers, and the like!

Would you like to stay informed? It might be new products in the store or it might be where you can find me out in the world selling my wares. It could also be where I'm setting up for in-person marbling. Let's stay connected, cheers!
