I am a beaded jewelry artist living in the beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.  I began making jewelry as a high school student while I was working part time at a bead store in Freeport, Maine.  Being surrounded by gorgeous beads was truly inspiring, so I began to experiment with techniques and materials.  In the process, I've developed my unique style which features bright hues and bold color combinations.  Though I enjoy bright, cheerful colors, I also relish the challenge of creating art with neutrals and more subdued tones.  Working with colorful beads has influenced my other art forms as well.  I enjoy painting rich, bold, abstract watercolors and glazing my pottery with intense colors.

My work ranges from easily wearable strung pieces to large and intense pieces for more bold wearers.  I find great joy in creating intricate works of wearable art from tiny beads and infinite stitches.  For me, it's a form of meditation.
