I am primarily a glass and bead artist, and jewelry designer. My favorite medium is glass. I want my art work to bring beauty and comfort into the lives of others.
Art has always been a crucial part of my life. My mother ensured that art was all around our home as I was growing up. Being influenced as a young person by art I chose glass to be the medium I would work in after my own children were grown.
I started with small glass fusing projects, was introduced to glass bead making, and them moved on to large and complicated glass fusing projects.
This is where I find my flow.
I find great satisfaction in working with different elements of glass and seeing if they will work and what the result will be. Sometimes I’m surprised and others bring the “Ahhhh” out in me. Enjoy my website.
You will find my work under Art, and you may purchase my work thru the galleries listed. Thanks for visiting.
