Finally, a personal introduction:
Somewhere within this website you might expect to find a spot where I would tell you all about my artistic background, professional training, internships or exhibitions.  How I researched and developed this idea during my travels abroad, or was inspired by a stroll through some famous neighborhood in Paris.  Unfortunately, none of these things has ever happened.  The real story is that I have always been creative, hard-working, and maybe just a little lucky, so after I was laid off by a semiconductor manufacturer, I found that I had a little time on my hands. Then someone suggested that I go to an antique furniture auction.  After many hours and even days of watching and waiting, I bought a big old carved cabinet from France.  After I had in my home for a while, I wanted another piece, of course, but I didn’t have the space or money to buy another one, so I decided to sell the first one.  I wanted to keep more than just a picture of it, so I thought that if I could somehow reproduce the carved images on the doors, I could keep my favorite part of this big old piece of furniture, then sell it and buy another one.  So the plan was hatched !  It was many years between that point and a time when I had established a reliable process, found a market, launched a web site, and found that I could sell enough tiles to actually feed myself, but it eventually happened.  Now I make tiles, and I hope you like them as much as I have enjoyed creating them for you.
