I am a very busy mother and grandmother who works full-time. I have been collecting artistic pieces since I was 16. Today my home reflects my many areas of interest, travels with family, etc. I am inspired by beautiful pieces of artwork whether it is just a whimsical piece that appeals to my off-beat nature or to more formal pieces that make a room. I plan on retiring soon and would like to take up pottery making and stain glass. Of course, I will still be an active buyer from Novica because there are so, so many exceptional pieces.
