Introduction | I am a Sea Captain's Daughter, a native of Newport Beach, CA. I love everything related to the beach and the sea and all that I find there. Sea glass, shells, flora and fauna, the sounds of the ocean, the fog horns, the smell of the saltwater, the white of the sails against the azure seas, the sunsets over the water...the world over, the sea is home to me, the sands are my nest of contentment. I have spent a lifetime in art as a draftsman, an interior designer/antique retailer, a trained metalsmith/jeweler and a fine art oil painter. My cargo hold bears treasure from the past, vintage goods gathered from compass points near and far...objects and art blown by the winds of time to the present...jewelry crafted with pearls and vintage pieces, American and European antique accessories, textiles vintage and new, fragments from daily living, too precious to be discarded...repurposed, ceramics and glass, linen and gilt, the precious and not-so. I can't wait for you to join my heartfelt journey in search of beautiful environments, vintage goods, fun and historic places and healthy living! |
Interests | Painting, Interior Design, Antiquing-Flea Markets, Traveling and Exploring the Ocean's Shores. |
Favorite Movies | Love historic novels on film! |
Favorite Music | Classical in the background or 60's & 70's Rock! |
Favorite Books | Coffee table Interior Design books such as the Gianettis' Patina Stye and Jeanne d'Arc's French Atmospheres, in English! Finally, I love understanding what really constitutes 'healthy' eating...so...lots of vegan eating writing. Love those historic novels and summer reading of the shores of East Coast and of course, the sea. |
