Hello!

I'm Jody Taborski

My husband Michael and I have been married for 27 years and have 4

young adult children. When my

youngest graduated it

left me feeling lost, with no direction or purpose. Gone were the days of diapers and bottles, sports and school. Finding nothing to focus on I, like many others at this stage of life, turned to making art to fill the void.

How it started

On Christmas Eve 2017, I found myself in a familiar predicament. No more time, and more gifts needed for friends and family who were due to arrive in approximately 24 hours. Working under pressure is the only way I get things done so I hopped on Pinterest and discovered pebble art, or what I call rock art. Luckily, stashed away in the I’ll do it later closet, were little wooden plaques and decorative pebbles. 24 hours later a little worse for wear, I gifted them to my loved ones. They were a hit and a new hobby was born.

How it’s going

In the years since my first frantic foray into rock art, I’ve developed a love of creating art using, not only pebbles, but bark, twigs, shells, acorns, preserved moss and flowers, and sometimes linen, when the need for fabric arises.

I mostly use re-purposed photo frames, often found at antique shops or even garage sales
