A long bus ride in eastern Europe along with some help from my brass playing husband was the inspiration for a line of prints and funny caricatures of musicians — each representing humorous performance woes and common personality traits of each music performer. I invite you to check these out…..if you’re a musician, you’ll appreciate them even more! As a pianist for a number of years as well, the idea of utilizing the beautiful ivory from discarded pianos led to use them as pieces of wearable art. I’m still adding pieces, all one-of-a-kind, to my repertoire of jewelry.
