Beading is a personal journey. I created this site for friends who are interested in my work. Some have taken classes with me, either that I have taught or which were taught by others. The class experience is creatively inspiring, partly through seeing the efforts of colleagues, and also through the visualization of the process.

I had the opportunity to mentor a lovely young beader in 2003. For her Senior Project, she chose to investigate beading techniques around the world, and to bead some representative works as well as write a research paper. I in no way take credit for anything she created, but I thought it might be fun to see what she shared with me. So if you're interested, go here. I think she's going to really do some remarkable things before she's done.

The gallery of my work shows my growth as a creative beader, and my ability as an artist and teacher. I do undertake commission work. Email me for information.
