Thank you for visiting my website! I call myself the Watercolor Weaver to incorporate my two passions, painting and basket weaving. I learned to weave baskets 25 years ago, in 1983, when we lived in North Carolina and loved basket weaving after my first basket was woven. It was one of those things that turned a hobby into a business for me and I enjoyed every minute. My greatest joy is teaching basket weaving to others and seeing the delight on their faces when they complete a basket in a few hours.

It was 22 years after weaving my first basket that I took my first watercolor painting class. Again, I was hooked at the completion of my first painting. It was difficult sleeping at night because there were so many ideas running through my head for paintings and basket styles.

My husband, Rob, and I live in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida and everywhere we look there is a painting in the making. The beach, the water, the birds and the people lend themselves to a successful outcome. Some of my baskets are embellished with shells, driftwood, seagrass and other natural materials found in the area. Some of my favorite paintings are of the beach. The white sand and the emerald green water are truly beautiful.

Most of my baskets are original designs coming from requests of those looking for the perfect basket for the perfect spot, or one of those designs I have in my head when I should be sleeping! I love to design a basket that will match a person’s décor or an Easter basket keepsake for that special child or grandchild.

If you receive a wedding invitation in the mail and are looking for a special gift for the special couple, I would love to paint a scene on the invitation that can be framed and given back as a keepsake. So many newlyweds have said that their painted invitation was the most special gift they received. Take a look at some of the painted invitations on my website. My original watercolor paintings are available framed or unframed. Prints are also available.

Classes in basket weaving and watercolor painting are available for individuals or groups and we have a great time!

Enjoy taking a look at what is available and have fun shopping!
