As a self taught mixed media artist my creativity thrives on experimentation so I love to work in many different mediums. My medium of choice has always been beads but lately I have been indulging in paper collage, a variety of fibers to make art dolls, found objects, and acrylic paints. Ultimate satisfaction comes when I am able to incorporate all of these elements into my art.

I enjoy teaching what I have learned over the years to others and have done so through a variety of classes and by publishing my own artist zine. Bead E Art Zine includes my own personal beading tutorials along with a gallery of related art and informative articles.

My artwork currently appears in Visual Chronicles and Contemporary Bead & Wire Jewelry and has been published in Bead & Button Magazine, Crafts Magazine, ARTitude Zine, Art Doll Quarterly May 2005 issue, as well as having been exhibited in art galleries across the United States and in private collections throughout the world.
