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 in health care and to 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 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 International Polymer Clay Association
(formerly the National Polymer Clay Guild).

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. 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.
