Eye Studio
Since I was 12 yrs old people have called me Eye. I first started using my signature Eye in High School and my work has been inscribed with it since.
Thus... “EYE Studio”
favorite media
Glass, Acrylic, Pen & Ink,
Clay, Pencil, Pastel, the possibilities
are endless.
I love creating murals, portraits, glass and ceramic bowls, jewelry, wall & window pieces and sculptures.
My favorite thing to do is to create, share and teach art to others. I enjoy working with color, texture, shape and form. My personal abstract artwork is a combination of the elements above and landscape studies which I call “formscapes”

She spent the day talking with 
students and signing free books for each one. This was funded by a grant I wrote.
