I started making bead jewelry when I lived in New Mexico some years ago. After moving to Minnesota I started doing art fairs in Southern Minnesota and in the Twin Cities and joined the Southeastern MN Visual Artists.
I have enjoyed using wire to emphasize the natural patterns in semi-precious stones, pearls and special glass for quite some time. More recently, I have added silversmithing to my repertoire so that I can create almost any accompaniment to my stones and glass that they suggest to me.
