I’m an artist specializing in fine beadwork and beadwoven jewelry. I design a wide variety of pieces including elegant jewelry suitable for wear in the workplace, lovely tiaras, headbands and jewelry for weddings and formal occasions, and fun, mixed-media designs for casual wear.

I’m also a professional writer, with degrees in English and Communications. I work mainly in fiction and humor.

If you think about it, making things from tiny beads and writing are two ways of doing the same thing. In both, you use basic building blocks–beads or words–to construct something larger. What you end up with depends on how you arrange those blocks, how many you use, what kind, and how you secure them together. Knowing how to make something out of (next to) nothing really helps.
