Bio:

I’ve been creative since I was very young: writing, drawing, painting and I became drawn to beading when I was 14. I bead whatever inspires me, and I’m excited by color. Since I’ve always been a painter, I approach each beadwork like I would a painting.  Each of my pieces is hand sewn, bead-by-bead to create 2-and 3D ornamental sculptures and charms. I name each piece, and I love to celebrate endangered species, and the species or shapes that I find cute.
