Being a native to the Pacific Northwest, I am inspired by the organic forms found in nature, Japanese motifs, textiles techniques and the sinuous lines found in the Art Nouveau movement. My focus is wire and metalwork. My work is becoming intimate with the subtleties of this medium and sharing these techniques with my students.
I teach at locally at Quiltworks NW in Bellevue WA, and these beads stores across the country; The Beading Frenzy, The Bead House, The Bead Gallery in Hawaii, Crystal Creations, Creative Castle, Alaska Bead Co, Beads by Blanche and The Shepherdess.
The shows I teach at are; Interweave Press Bead Fests, Bead & Button, Bay area Bead Extravaganza and Adorn Me.
I have partnered with Tracy Stanley to form Wired Arts. Check out our website! www.wiredarts.net .
