My Bio
Wicked Brush, my small, well-equipped art studio, is located in the quaint vineyard town of North East, PA.
Producing original contemporary art in a surrealistic and dark art style, I am a self-taught artist whose works have been labeled as gothic, fantasy, punk, tattoo, and urban. However, I classify my artwork as lowbrow, contemporary figurative, or underground alternative.
My art for sale includes china painted items, altered clothing, jewelry, and decorative art in a multitude of media and surfaces. I also do contract assignment for clients requiring unique art on unusual surfaces.
In past years, I have been a member of the Decorative Artist Society, and served on the Boards of the Erie, PA Porcelain Artist’s Guild and the Erie, PA Guild of Craftsmen. During my membership in the Doll Artisan Guild, I began making porcelain portrait dolls, and obtained certification for Modern Doll Artist and Modern Doll Arts Products Teacher. Although now withdrawn from the porcelain doll-making field, I continue making hand crafted cloth dolls.

Well, due to my husband's recently diagnosed illness, we have put the house up on the market; we need to move to warm weather and central Florida is our target. This is the beginning of the fourth month on the market; many showings with positive feedback, but no bid yet. In those months, everything, except things used daily, has been packed, including my studio. So, I have not done any painting or drawing for months. I also was not able to attend the local MUFON conference, for which I had made artwork to sell. I'm starting to go stir crazy. I NEED to paint to stay sane.
So, I will post progress when there is some. And, I WILL obtain a new s

Hurricane Sandy's main thrust against the north east coast is now three days gone. In the aftermath, many thousands of people are still without power and the historic NYC Boardwalk lies in shambles. Profound sympathies and heartfelt prayers go to those who lost their lives and to those whose lives are forever changed because of this storm.
On a lighter note, in my area this storm has caused so much rain that the ground squishes like a sponge. Just last month, the colors turned in the trees; they were breathtakingly beautiful. Luckily, my hubby and I took a couple of nice rides into the neighboring counties and drank in the wonder of fall. Bu

It's now nearing the end of summer; this makes me so sad. Although this past winter was extremely mild, we eagerly took our friends up on the opportunity to spend a month in Florida and another in Georgia, visiting. This vacation put me a little behind in my painting efforts. But I am finding it easier to say "No" to miscellaneous requests for my time, and am finally spending more time in my studio. We are probably not going away this winter, and I am hoping to make a lot of painted presents for everyone.
A few events are coming up for which I am preparing:
Pagan Pride Day for which I make jewelry and for the first time, will be making
