Indian paisley baby shoes

These cuties were amoung the first baby shoes I painted. The designs came from a fabric I bought for a dollar a yard and made into a swimsuit sarong which I still have. Unfortunately, the baby shoes, which were for sale in a Saratoga Springs, NY gift shop, were shoplifted. I've heard of taking candy FROM a baby but never eye-candy FOR a baby.

Marie Antoinette Adirondack chair

This Adirondack chair I painted for a charity auction had detailing straight from Marie Antoinette's Petite Trianon boudoir that I visited in Paris. Can you find them?



































Garden Chair

This child size chair is meant for display. I was inspired by artist Tracy Porter's glass vase which I picked up at a gift shop. Painted polka dots, stripes and flowers are accented by a string of crystal beads. I sold this piece with a set of other furniture and decorative home accessories.

Carnival Baby Shoes

I was inspired by a baby bedding catalog for these adorable shoes.

Cottage Garden Baby Shoes


Inspired by my collection of teacups and my kitchen that I used to display them in in Upstate NY.
