Meet the Designer

About the artist....
I have been beading, primarily with seed beads, since about 1992. My passion is for peyote, but I am also versed in brick, right angle weave, net, and square stitches, as well as all of the basics.
I consider myself an "intuitive" beader, allowing each piece to speak to me as I work - giving them a very unique look when complete. I am especially proud of my Face of the Goddess pendants, and hope that you enjoy the detail brought to each piece.
Please visit my Classes page or click on the Contact Me link if you'd like to learn to bead too.

Some of my accomplishments include: A project contribution to Beadwork magazine in the year 2006, a photo contribution and art gallery exhibition piece for the book "BeadDazzled: Where Beads and Inspiration Meet" also in 2006. I have had one of my pieces "Butterfly Garden", worn during a gallery exhibition fashion show in the heart of Washington, D.C., and have exhibited and sold pieces at The Lansing Art Gallery, and at Haze Art Gallery in Old Town, Lansing.
In the works and getting closer to reality every day: An inspiration style book that talks about incorporating the principles of metaphysics with beading - calming and creating at the same time. I've "hired" the professional photographer (my new sister in law, Holly Mayes) and have most of the layout complete. I hope to have a print copy done by Christmas!
