I would like to welcome you to my website. While you are here, please browse through the different pages to see what's new.

You will find pattern packets, surfaces, books and gifts. The pattern packets and books have been designed with the beginning and intermediate decorative painter in mind. The directions are written in a clear and concise manner with full size line drawings. And, a big plus, many of the packets now have the surface available.

Thank you for looking.

 

While vacationing in Michigan in the early 80's, Margaret found a shop near by that was giving classes in Decorative Painting. After only one week she found she was hooked. Going back to West Carrollton, OH she found another teacher and continued to paint while teaching in the public school system full time.

As time progressed Margaret began painting with small groups at her home. After retiring from teaching in the late 80's, she and her husband moved to Michigan where she helped organize the Michigan Grapevine Decorative Artist chapter in Kalamazoo. Margaret has been a member of SDP for over twenty years and is still active at the local level. She served as the Teacher Chair for SDP's convention in Anaheim. She also won Delta's Design contest in the Fabulously Feminine category.

Margaret has coauthored five Decorative Painting books, about 100 pattern packets and teaches at major conventions across the country.

She lives near Delton, MI with her husband, Ronald.
