my business is named for my grandmother:
years ago when her house was being cleaned out, 
a trip to her basement yielded many items that 
anyone who had been through the Great Depression 
would hold on to:  aluminum pie plates, jars and cans, 
and terracotta flower pots.  i took some of the pots, 
painted a few and gave them as gifts.  then people asked to 
pay me to paint them, and thus, ZouZou’s Basement was born.

Zou and Mich, 1934

i actually do all of my painting and paper pieces in my attic. 
it is a large room piled with paint, ribbon, paper, and bits and pieces
of ephemera.  i love making notecards, journals, and other paper products  
while sitting in my “paper pond”. and I love the smell of oil paint in 
the morning, especially while drinking lots of coffee, eating candy, and 
listening to music.  my work has been described as “hopeful” -- 
i hope it makes you smile!
