About the Artist

I grew up with parents who were teachers, Mom was a Home Ec Teacher and Dad was a grade school teacher and later a Principal. Due to this, my Sister and I were their guinea pigs for every art project they taught. We learned to do just about every kind of creative art subject from painting of all kinds, ceramics, both formed or molded as well as throwing clay, every kind of needle work from crotcheting, knitting, macreme, needlepoint, embroidery, string art, you name it, we were taught it. We worked with wood and fabrics, they both use patterns, and now I work with all kinds of jewelry componants to create beautiful creations from my heart.

About the Art

I only use stones and crystals of the highest quality, they are not perfect as I enjoy using all kinds of shapes and varieties, but they are the best I can find here in Arizona and online. If I use any plastics you will know by the description, there are a few acrylics that are fun to play with, but if I say it is crystal you will recieve crystal. Once in awhile I will use a wooden or ceramic pendant and again you will see it mentioned in the description. I like to finish my necklaces with crimp covers in silver, copper or gold, and sometimes the clasps are just as fun to see as my pendants. If you see a necklace that you would like in a different color or even style, using just the pendant, it can be done, your wish is my command. I enjoy a challenge.
