...Although I graduated from college with a degree in education, my passions have always included 'creating' beauty.
At this time, after discovering the dazzling 'world of beads', I've been 'weaving' jewelry from an abundant selection of semi-precious gems, swarovski crystals, seedbeads, art glass and sterling silver 'findings', beads and clasps. I weave this jewelry with a needle and strong, but delicate braided, amalgamated thread. Classic seedbead weaving is a very old art. Many of the designs I use are derived from early American Indian traditions. I combine some old patterns thereby creating 'new' ones. Working with beads is, for me, a form of relaxation and joy.
I have also rediscovered a passion for drawing and painting. I do enjoy painting ACEO size (2.5'x 3.5') artwork and smaller size paintings. I'm certain I will be expanding those dimensions as I gain confidence in this new genre.
