I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. My choice of medium has changed many times, working with crayons in the beginning of time and progressing to such things as water colors, oil paint, clay and porcelain to name a few.

When I came to this area, I discovered the seed bead art of our local tribe, the Mohaves.  Starting with their traditional designs, I soon progressed to my own designs.    I have spent many years creating intricate jewelry with teeny, tiny glass beads. 

 At age 60 I decided that I wanted to learn lampworking glass beads. This went on to sculpting the hot glass into bead critters (Dragons, Poisen Dart Frogs, Wacky cats,etc.). Sculpting with glass is much like sculpting with honey. Soon all my critters threatened to eat me out of house and home so I knew I had to do something with them so I started with the wire, traping them into jewelry. That has resulted with a mad compulsion to bend wire all hours of the day and night. I am working on short time here, being 66 and all.
