About Denise the "Handy Chick"

My name is Denise Kelty, relocated from NC to my hometown area of Schoharie County, NY in 2010. My focus area is Schoharie County NY and surrounding counties, however I have also traveled as far as North Carolina on several projects to help out clients, friends and family in my "old stomping grounds". I love what I do! I especially love a challenge that allows me to use my creative side.

As a practicing sculptor & artist since the early 90's, including carpentry and design, there are many mediums I like to work in with an extensive knowledge of building techniques and tool savvy. I studied fine art with a concentration in sculpture and followed it up with a second degree in design. I love problem solving, working with all materials and get a great deal of satisfaction from working with my hands, which is why I enjoy construction remodeling and doing custom work.

My detail oriented design and construction services allow me to work with people in a way that helps them find a way to express their creative and practical needs, immediate, business and personal, as well as my own. I enjoy the diversity that is brought to the work and those wonderful "ah hah!" moments that can occur when working with other people. You can view some samples of my "Handy Chick" work by scrolling down. You can also visit me on facebook, (facebook.com/fabledhandychick).

Contact me today about the project you would like me to do for you. Please send a detailed e-mail including your contact information to denise@fabledhare.com and I will get in touch with you as quickly as possible. You can also reach me via my cell-phone, 336.327.6999. I accept text messages too. I look forward to working with you!

Thank you for taking an interest in what I do. I look forward to any positive feedback you may want to share. Come back soon.
