Alfie
Introducing…. Alfie! My grandfather, Alfred, was from the Thumb, and I have had the opportunity to be visiting Port Austin since I was one week old. I use to have hundreds of relatives in the area, but not today; we are down to less than 10.
In 2012, we purchased a home in Port Austin and retired to the Thumb in 2015 after 35 years in corporate America living in Chicago, Kalamazoo, and Minneapolis.
In 2017, I started selling at the Port Austin Farmer’s Market with crazy signs and crafts. However, with so many people doing signs, I needed something to stand out. (More than my orange shorts and crazy hat-wigs.)
With encouragement from my artist friends, I have evolved into using stained glass in a nontraditional way. It has further evolved to incorporating epoxy resin into unique, one-of-a-kind creations.
Now my life has taken me to PAK’S Garage. I look forward to this new opportunity and to reach a bigger audience.
To my grandfather, for introducing me to Port Austin and encouraging me to chase my dreams (even those I didn’t know I had till I retired – and you’re never too old to chase those dreams)… I introduce my new line…Alfie!
