With the main focus being tiny glass "seed" beads, I create one of a kind works of art, ranging from bead encrusted vessels and sculptures to wearable art jewelry,
Semi-precious gemstones to found objects find their way into my artwork, adding richness and texture.
Though primarily a self taught bead artist, my teaching of this art form has I draw my inspiration from the world around me and my relationship to it. Whether it's a trip to the city or a walk in the canyons, both feed the constant search for materials, ideas, and unfolding the creative process.
Since my artwork is extremely intricate, it can take days, weeks or even months to complete a project. This long meditative process is one I find very fulfilling.

Here we are onto something different. I have a long standing interest in the Tarot. So I thought I would express each one of the 22 Major Arcana cards as a
ceramic vessel and decorate it with beads. This project is done and there is a picture of each of the 22 ceramic vessels.
