A professional graphic designer who uses her background in art history and restoration to create everyday objects you can enjoy in your home or as wearable art. It's a joy to bring the best art and design of ages past into everyday life, plus invitations and DIY party projects. If you don't already share my love for artists and illustrators such as Alphonse Mucha, Edmund Dulac, Beatrix Potter, Carl Larsson and John Tenniel, perhaps you'll discover a new enthusiasm.

Angel (fragment of the Baronci Altarpiece) 1500-01

The face of an angel as only Raphael could paint it. I love the composition and the purity of line. Rich palette of Renaissance red and green balanced with black and white. Especially treasured at Christmas time, elegant and tasteful all the year round.

An elegant fine art plate -- whether you use it to deck your wall, grace your dining table, serve Christmas cookies and goodies -- or give as a gift. Especially treasured at Christmas time, beautiful and tasteful all the year through.
