For most of my adult life I have been enamored with Lake Erie.  It’s both moody and playful.  Its gentle ebb calms my anxious mind.  This magic was especially poignant during the pandemic, as I would make quick trips to the shores and accept whatever gifts the lake offered.  Most often I found her returning objects once discarded by humans but now imbued with an aged patina that was beautiful and gracious.  It is from these found objects that I have created a series of serene and meditative work. These pieces are currently on display in my studio inside White Rabbit Gallery, 571 W. Tuscarawas Ave., Barberton If you see something you would like to purchase or show my work, please email me: BraveTeacherMIm@gmail.com Beach Dreamin’ Acrylic on canvas beach glass, glass jars, and adhesive 12 x 6 SOLD Beach Sunset Acrylic on canvas, beach glass, adhesive 8 x 10  $40 Gifts from the Lake Acrylic on canvas, assemblage of gifts from the lake, adhesive 8 x 10...

  What stories these bits of glass could tell!  As they tossed and turned their rough edges have been removed. They were tossed into the lake as rubbish but returned to us as a mysterious gift. All of the small pieces of glass were collected on the shores of Lake Erie.  Collecting them has been a meditative practice in gratitude. The glass was sorted, placed in a bottle, and united with bits of ribbon and charms. As you wear this necklace and write your own story, the mysterious adventure of the beach glass continues. I have about 10 of these in my studio. If you see something you like or wish to view more, email me . These are being offered for $18 each.
