When I first started creating beaded jewelry, I did not have an appreciation
for items created with seed beads (those little tiny beads made of glass). However, the more I create, the more I find myself
gravitating towards the fine detailed work associated with seed beads.

Ever since I was a child, I've always created with my hands. I remember experimenting with crochet, knitting, and quilting.
I believe, as humans, we are driven to create...even work is creative.
People ask me, "Where do you find the time?" One of my favorite activities, while on vacation, is creating jewelry. Here's
a shot that was taken while we were on vacation in Oregon for Christmas 2005. In fact, when I first started creating jewelry,
I only seemed to have time during vacations. Fortunately, I've found more time at home to create.

"I see beading as a great oasis waiting to be explored. I
am currently exploring bold, semi-precious gemstone based pieces, wire wrapped cabochons, fiber and detailed seed-bead creations
to delight individual client tastes."
