I cannot remember a time that I have not done some form of handwork. My formal introduction was in Brownie Girl Scouts with counted Cross-stitch. I am descended from a long line of multi-talented needlewomen and remember many hours of making little “pillows” out of scraps while staying with my grandmother.
I began my creative career in beadwork. After many years of recreating cross stitch patterns I was introduced to beadwork. At the time I did not have a bead store nearby or anyone to teach me. I learned that I didn't have to "follow a pattern". I could make it up as I went along. This quickly led to designing my own patterns, publishing a beadwork pattern book and then owning a bead store.
In 2004 I closed my shop and moved to Asheville, NC where I ended up working in an administrative capacity for a ceramic art center. My sweetie is a clay artist and you can't be around the stuff for long without getting your hands in the mud. I spent 4 years "working a day job", absorbing as much about clay as I could, and working frantically in my off hours to begin a new career.
I made the leap in January to become a full time artist/entrepreneur again and feel like I have come home to where I belong...Playing in the mud puddles!
