     Having always loved beads, I began actually working with them 18 years ago as an apprentice seamstress. A few years later, I discovered BEAD STORES on a trip to California and began bead weaving. For the next several years, bead-weaving was my passion. Finally, I stepped into the world of jewelry making, beginning with beaded bracelets and moving into wirework. Holding a Bachelors of Art in Studio Art, I find that the sculptural quality of wire greatly appeals to me. I enjoy seeing the looks of delight on peoples’ faces when they view my jewelry and look forward to continuing to delight people with my work.
