This is an original Photograph taken 2005. Above the gold dome of the capitol building this moon seemed to balance on the tip. That’s real gold on the dome.

This is an original Photograph taken 2005. Above the gold dome of the capitol building this moon seemed to balance on the tip. That’s real gold on the dome. It’s gold mined in Dahlonega, Georgia where, back in 1829, gold was discovered. In fact, the word Dahlonega means yellow in the Cherokee language. The Native Americans knew that gold was in those hills. The dome, however, wasn’t always layered in gold. It took until 1957 that the idea was conceived of laying down thin sheets of gold mined in the North Georgia hills. Gold was again laid on the dome in 1979 to keep it gleaming. In September 2024, the dome was slated to get new gold to make needed repairs some time before 2026.

This is art for the tastemakers: the interior designers who sculpt sanctuaries, the collectors who seek soul in their walls. My work draws from a tradition of elegance—think the poised restraint of early pictorialism, kissed by modern clarity. Here, every piece is destined to elevate spaces and spark conversation or create a haven of loveliness. My art is for people like me—those who laugh at life’s messes and still crave beauty that lasts.

I hope my art inspires people to put more real Art in their homes rather than cheap decor from from Amazon, Walmart, or Temu. I hope it inspires more people to collect and invest in Fine Art. I hope they begin to start art collections for their grand children and giving Fine Art as wedding gifts, graduation gifts, and other meaningful milestones.  

Because, as she says, "I find the stories of art collectors are intrinsically part of the pieces they collect. It is the artists that tell all our stories. That makes art into a creatively forged kinship between artist and collector. So, in all my work, I hope people see my work as a mirror of their own fineness and value. It's really yours. I made it for you."
