We are artists, writers, filmmakers and naturalists. We feel that life is such a beautiful gift for each of us. We try to emanate things of beauty and delicateness and gentleness in the art that we create. We appreciate those whose art reflects the things in life that are sweet and kind, like little children. We want to express to others our love of life, our love of nature and children, of happy moments and times when people are being kind to one another. Life can be like that, if we put or minds and hearts to making it so.

Debbie:

I was born in Los Angeles, California. As a child, our family later lived by the ocean for many years; I think that was an inspiration to me to work in art, as I was very inspired by the serenity and the beauty of the sea. I felt the vastness of it and the presence of God. I often spoke to the ocean and to the birds and felt that nature was my "home", a place that reminded me of the true paradise I somehow remembered. I began writing poetry when I was eleven years old and am still writing poetry, as well as children's stories. I feel as if an unseen companion always assists me in my writings, helping me to be in touch with the spiritual world and with the child within myself.

I have always loved nature and have collected beautiful things from nature for many years. I began creating art from natural materials in 1987, making small furnishings and dwellings, little people and sculptural objects using flowers, mosses, branches, pods, leaves and everything that I could find and loved in the natural world. Soon, I had made a wonderful menagerie of fanciful creations. I loved the fairytale "world" I had created but felt that it shouldn't just be for me. I wanted to share it with others, so I decided to start selling my work. People were so excited by my little Fairy Furniture that I became too busy to keep up with making all the pieces people wanted, which was very exciting for me. So my husband, Mike began helping me and we worked together for 8 years, creating our wonderful Nature Art. Eventually, in 1993, we created our most wonderful masterpiece....a 5' x 4' Fairy Treehouse, which is a magnificent, amazing work of art.....a house, truly from the fairytale world. Filled with wonderful little furnishings, books, dishes, brooms, paintings, and endless detail and surprises, all made from nature. Our treehouse is truly wonderful; it is in a world all it's own.....furnished rooms, stairways and secret gardens and endless paths to wander and discover. We would love to create more treehouses and fairy castles for people and are excited to begin another forest house for anyone who is interested. We can make smaller dwellings as well.

It was a wonderful and enchanting adventure for Mike and I to create such a beautiful house. Later, in 1995, our Fairy Castle was exhibited at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland and was chosen as the 4th favorite work of art out of the 400 art pieces in their...
