I began as an antiques dealer in 1999, attending estate sales and taking consignments and selling on Ebay. In that process, I accumulated a lot of chipped or cracked china, bits of broken jewelry, shells, etc, which I began utilizing to create picture frames, thus starting my Fit Of Pique mosaics artistry. I have also been an organic gardener most of my life (I am 75 now) and began selling organic plants and products I made from my organic garden at the local Farmers Market, local festivals, including ones that I organized locally and have conducted workshops. I'm "old school" and will always focus on quality and customer satisfaction.
