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.
