• HOW IT BEGAN

    My enjoyment of candles especially in my art studio is where this began as an interesting new hobby...

    Finding candles I really enjoy was difficult; I my curiosity led me to begin learning. It should be a simple project, right? I later realized there's so much more to it. Soon, I was experimenting and taking notes. So many notes. When the candle formula was perfected, I began gifting to my family and they loved their candles!

  • WHAT I DISCOVERED

    I discovered that candle making is a lot more complicated than I expected; math and science are involved and there's an honored craft to this process. The wax, the wick, and the fragrance oil chosen along with hours of testing have brought me to my own beautiful formula. It's a wonder to see how a hand poured candle can be very different from mass produced candles.

    Fewer to none on the negative side effects usually associated with candles.

  • WHY CHOOSE MY CANDLES

    I am thrilled to share these candles with you because of how much better they burn than any other candle I have tried. Coconut soy wax, cotton wicks, and fragrance oils carefully chosen to be free of phthalates and other toxins. A cleaner and more efficient burn, higher quality ingredients, and beautiful scents in perfect balance. Handcrafted here in my studio, poured by me in small batches and limited numbers.

Beyond The Ordinary Days

With each painting shown, there is a brief writing about the place or the emotion it evokes for me.

What keeps me passionate about creating...

My love of inspiration found in nature; painting my version as a relaxing therapy.

  • My main workspace.

    This table began as a treasure found at the ReStore...

    we added a hollow-core door and a bit of paint,

    and then contact paper. It's perfect.
