As I said, I have been playing with metal, beads and stones for over 15 years now and started taking my creations (not myself) seriously about a year ago.

I began playing with metal when I was living in Central America in my early twenties. I learned about two part/air dry clay, marble carving, metal forming/bending, stones (and their energies), and myself.

After a couple of years, I stopped playing and began working ... I completed my degrees in teaching and linguistics and became an instructor for a few years... but the metal kept calling me back!

So, I decided to turn my work into my play.... or is it my play into my work???

It took me a long time to listen to my heart and to follow it, but now that I have, I feel complete. As my ideas turn into creations, I can feel the circle of energy being completed within me.

I am excited to learn new skills and work with new media.

I feel as though each of us has an obligation to create beauty in our world and I am so happy to have found my way of contributing to that creation.

I love creating chainmaille and working with PMC. I am also attempting to create larger pieces with metal sheet and wire for wall art... this is a new area and as yet has not even come close to being perfected by me!! I will keep on trying!!
