Originally from Central Florida, I moved to the Daytona Beach area a few
years ago, after retiring from a retail career, in the north east. How did I start
this new career? Well, my son, Greg, is a multi-media artist living in Miami.
Having his parents living close by, he asked us to help him put resin on his
art. Of course, I knew nothing about resin but realized I really enjoyed it. I
decided to take some classes and several years later, I still take classes,
learn, and experiment with new techniques and looks. From my original
vision, to create the ocean look on charcuterie boards, I realized how much I
enjoy creating a variety of works of art with resin.

Retiring in Daytona Beach and having a fun second career as a resin artist
is now my passion! I could not be any happier!

Statement of materials used
I create ocean inspired charcuterie boards using two different resins and many coloring agents like pastes, powders, micas and alcohol inks. Using two different resins allows me to create the colors of the ocean with a two-hour working window. By having the long working time, I can use at least five colors which will intermingle with each other and additional colors are created on their own. The second resin used is just to make the beautiful ocean waves, which allows the piece to look just like the ocean.
