| For as long as I can remember, I have loved art in any form. As a little girl, I designed and made clothes for my paperdolls and Ginny dolls. As a young mother, I drew and sold children’s portraits done in pencil and pen and ink. Then I went on to do macramé, quilling, making my own special occasion cards, fabric collage-art, as well as painting with acrylics and oils. For several years I have been making suncatchers and mobiles using recycled materials and crystal. Finally I have found the art that steadily fuels my passion with jewelry design. I was introduced to jewelry making fifteen years ago. After I made my first necklace I was hooked just like so many artisans before me. I left the traditional workplace eight years ago to concentrate on my jewelry business. My pieces have sold in local stores, galleries, craft shows and at home parties. I love playing with color, texture and patterns and I get all three by designing with beads. I have also found that working with gemstones is both soothing and stimulating. As a natural progression of making jewelry, I learned to make my own lampworked glass beads at the Worcester Center for Crafts and I incorporate them in some of my projects. Generally, each piece of my jewelry is one-of-a-kind and I take custom orders for similar pieces. The materials that I use to create my jewelry are of high quality and I keep my prices reasonable. |
