Creatives - Fun, Art

Overview

This collection showcases my love for hands-on creativity—from painted wood signs and functional decor to custom artwork and repurposed materials. Each piece blends storytelling, whimsy, and craft, whether it’s a hand-painted tray, a personalized sign, or an original acrylic painting. These projects reflect my passion for creating art that’s both meaningful and memorable.

Beach House antique apple crate

Repurposed an antique apple crate into a functional tray by hand-painting custom illustrations and typography. Finished with nautical-style anchor handles for a rustic, coastal-inspired touch—blending vintage charm with practical design.

The Giving Tree Display – Church Donation Project

Commissioned by a local church to support underprivileged children, this handcrafted tree was inspired by The Giving Tree. Built from wood and balsa pieces, the design mimics the look of a real tree and serves as a visual centerpiece for parishioners to select birthdays and place gifts beneath. A heartfelt project blending creativity with community impact.

Hand-Painted Grandfather Clock – Community Fundraiser Project

Collaborated with a retirement community on a meaningful storytelling project: a grandfather clock built by residents using wood from a fallen cherry tree on the property. I was invited to hand-paint the clock face and sun dial, freehanding the numbers and imagery in oil paints. The finished piece was auctioned at a fundraising event, then generously donated back for permanent display—honoring both craftsmanship and community spirit.
