“I just gotta bead….”
One cannot grow up in Corning, N.Y. and not have at least a small fascination with the many possibilities of glass as an artistic medium. Combine that fascination with a mother and grandmother who embroidered, tatted, quilted, smocked, and needlepointed. Needless to say, I was strongly encouraged to sew! My beadwork evolved from that humble beginning as embellishment, embroidery, and jewelry.
I am essentially self-taught. This has been a 40-year evolution of what I consider a unique style. Textural beadwork in jewelry has dovetailed into three-dimensional sculpture, both large and small. My miniature work for dollhouses, baskets, vessels, and wearables have taken the simple glass bead on a journey through mixed media, loom work, and a variety of free hand stitching techniques.
I have proudly received my Roycroft Renaissance Master in 2009 and again in 2014 for my artistry in beads.
Every day I look forward to some time in my studio………bead therapy!
