I grew up in Chicago. My Father was a professional accordion player of old time music. He had a love for old mansions. We would buy them and restore all the beautiful woodwork and charm. This was where my interest in art began. I have always been able to look at something old and in the rough, and imagine all the potential in it's beauty. For many years, I would shop at thrift stores for old furniture pieces and restore them. Then I became painting my own designs on them. Over time, I began selling the items at craft shows and incorporated hand painted wood signs into my shop. In 2012, I wanted to reach a larger crowd and opened my Etsy shop selling my designs as vinyl decals. I truly enjoy working with clients to create something special and unique to make their houses a home
