Artist Profile... Like many artists,
I have been drawn to a wide range of
mediums throughout my life. My love of
color, texture, form, and design has been
expressed through textiles, photography,
glass, gardening, beads, and jewelry.
After years of only being able to pursue
my art part-time, I decided to give up my
day job and follow my creative passions
on a full-time basis. I love to combine polymer clay with vintage
and contemporary materials to produce one-of-a-kind art that
expresses my eclectic and organic sense of style. Each piece
usually requires several techniques and multiple stages to
achieve the desired result.
I am an active board member of Clayville, a wonderful polymer
clay guild in Northern California, whose members constantly
inspire me with their artistic wisdom and generous friendship. I
am also a member of the National Polymer Clay Guild (NPCG).
Over the past five years I have been fortunate to participate in
workshops with Kathleen Dustin, Sarah Shriver, Seth Savarick,
Klew, Desiree McCrorey, Maggie Maggio, and Robert Dancik.
So much inspiration is available at the push of a button and I'm
currently working on projects inspired by Gwen Gibson and
Susan Hyde. All of these fine artists have helped to make my
transition from medicine to art much more satisfying and have
encouraged me to grow creatively in leaps and bounds.
I particularly enjoy making beads, wearable art, accessories, and
home decor items. In addition to this website, I sell my work
through local and online bead shops, Etsy, JustBeads, art events,
and galleries.
