From the time I was a child, I recall coloring, cutting, and pasting paper. As I got older, I discovered that there were a myriad of colorful media I was attracted to, including paint, colored pencils, and colored and patterned paper. I’ve tried my hand at many art and craft projects, including needlework and scrapbooking.

 
Most recently I have been caught up in the beading bug. You just can’t have too many beads. I have other artsy friends who were also trying beading techniques, including bead weaving, who encouraged my addiction and taught me their secrets. I have enjoyed working with glass and semi-precious beads and various metal wires. I have also been experimenting with polymer clay, which I find is a natural extension for a jewelry maker. Finding attractive ways to combine all these materials into necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings has been my goal. My favorite color palettes are inspired from the sea and the southwest dessert, so you will see a lot of that in my work. Nature has always had a special attraction --
