I've been making things for as long as I can
remember. I was the kid who asked for arts and
crafts projects and supplies for Christmas and
spent many an evening making mosaics and painting
fascinating paint-by-number paintings while the
rest of the family watched TV. My parents were
tolerant of my need to paint flowers on everything
including our old upright piano.
Despite that early calling, I ended up in a traditional career path and had a successful business for many years. It wasn’t until I reached “ a certain age” that I rediscovered my need to create. Life hasn’t been the same since. The day’s are too short and the night’s are spent dreaming of things to make.
In the last few years jewelry has been my focus. I’m drawn to the sculptural qualities of these tiny works of wearable art. Mixing media and combining colors to create something unique brings together both my creative and technical thought processes…and brings joy to my life.
And that's one of my favorite things about creating art. You never know what's coming next.
