![]() I began designing and creating jewelry in 1988. My initial products were created solely from seed beads, but soon added a wide variety of beads to create a different look. While attending the 2nd International Bead Conference I took a class in Polymer Clay and was hooked. Using the millifiori technique to produce polymer beads, I then incorporated the beads into all types of jewelry or sold them loose so the buyer can create something for themselves. During the Summer of 1993 I started working with furnace produced glass beads to enhance my jewelry designs. Working with glass lead to a desire to produce my own glass beads. I started working with a bench burner to produce lampworked glass beads. I have since become an accomplished glass lampworking artist. Working with glass has given me an exciting new medium to experiment with. With the addition of glass I started making functional, One-of-a-kind pieces
of art, and assures the buyer the
each item sold is unique. My glass working has turned to fusing and slumping
I exhibit my work in numerous local and national art shows. In addition, many galleries and shops throughout the United States sell and\or display my work. I was also selected from applicants from around the world to have a booth at the 3rd International Bead Conference in Washington DC. I have been a member of the Northern Virginia Handcrafters Guild, the Rehoboth Art League, the Washington Bead Society and the Northern Virginia Bead Society. |
