Please consider coming to this event and supporting local Catholic artists and artisans! Since my studio is located inside the school, the doors will be open for visitors to stop up and see and purchase my work. Hope to see you there!

"Back in the day" the church was the hotspot for culture and commerce.

What our forebears enjoyed naturally, we must strive for!

As such, a number of our member businesses are pursuing a dream of having 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿/𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁, featuring food, entertainment, quality goods, and community! (16 vendors, at present!) With robust support, we can make lively community spaces as well as build up a treasure trove of shared resources.

And the first "discovery" market will be 𝗢𝗰𝘁 𝟬𝟯, 𝟭𝟬:𝟬𝟬 - 𝟰:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠!
Details available at sjbusinessguild.org/market

Come on out (1983 Dayton Avenue, the old St. Mark's School courtyard, in St. Paul)!

Save the Date! This newly formed Catholic Artisan Market, presented by St. Joseph Business Guild members, will be on Saturday, October 3rd from 10am-4pm. It will be located in the courtyard of St. Mark’s School, which also happens to be the location of my studio.
My doors will be open that day, so please find your way upstairs to see my one-of-a-kind Catholic jewelry and shrines. In addition, my extensive collection of Catholic art, medals, statues, framed prints, holy cards and more, will be for sale. My studio is bursting with beautiful Catholic treasures that are in need of new homes!
Please come and support all the other wonderful Catholic artists and artisans selling their work, too!
We hope to make this a monthly event and are looking for other locations to host us. If you know of any parish or Catholic organization that would be interested, please message me.

This Marian shrine was created 5 years ago and has been the centerpiece of my display at many art events. She was just waiting for the right person to come along and fall in love with her! What’s not to love? I almost didn’t bring her because I thought, “maybe I keep this one…I do love it!” Not so! What keeps me creating new work like this is the moment I realize I made it for someone specific who will cherish it and pray with it and display it reverently in their home. My heart is full!
