About 25 years ago I saw a simple polka dot lampwork bead and I just had to learn to make one. I did, and that began a journey into making not only thousands of glass beads into jewelry, but also using beautiful gemstones, pearls, and other natural elements in my designs. I continue to create jewelry of all types: Boho, classic, southwestern, and other. Often, the beads dictate the design, balance, and color combinations. Jewelry making is a contemplative and rewarding way to express one’s creativity. I hope to pursue this art for many years.

Jewelry making is one interest that has continued over the years. The beauty of God’s creations has inspired her to use gemstones, precious metals, and other natural elements in her designs.
