My work is strongly influenced by my Mother who is an artist living in Texas.  She encouraged me to be creative and do my own thing.  My goal is to bring a smile to the viewer by using bright colors and unique designs.  I've been creating beaded jewelry and objects since 1997.  Learning new techinques and creating my own designs excites me.  I have donated distinctive creations for eleven years to Philbrook Festival of Trees and to several charitable organizations.
