About

Texas is where my creative muse was incubated, hatched, and fledged. I had numerous friends who were incredibly creative and helped me be brave in expressing my creativity...all tucked into an anonymous suburb in Texas.

Now the creative storm unstoppable--taking wing and flitting a little bit of everywhere...painting, crocheting, sewing, home interior design, and jewelry. The challenge has always been reigning in the idea storm and focusing it on one medium. I love to play and you'll see a wide variety of techniques in my work: lampwork (my main squeeze), complemented by wire-wrapping, chain maille, and stringing. I have managed to wrangle my idea sprite to the ground and we had a good talk...we are going to focus on glass and silver. Mostly. You'll probably see various techniques creeping in from time to time as I try out different ideas.

Texas has provided a broad base of inspiration in the southwest style with wildflowers, big sky, constant sunshine, longhorns, cowboy lore, ranching, and oil. Now I reside in Hong Kong. It's a very modern city, but I seek out the quaint and rustic. The sea, islands, city, villages, mountains, and weather are saturating my brain and soaking my journal with pages and pages of color and style that are bursting to be realized in jewelry.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Enjoy!
