Biography

For the past 25 years I have been making wearable art, sterling silver and beaded jewelry. Beading brings me a great deal of pleasure and seeing how my work has evolved over the years also gives me much satisfaction. In 2005, I was approached about teaching beading classes and since then have been successfully offering a series of unique beaded project classes that provide students not only an opportunity to learn basic and advanced skills but also to achieve making their own beautiful jewelry pieces.
