Artist Bio

Ever since I can remember I have always worked with my hands.  I have created everything from sewing to tole painting projects. 

           Then a few years ago I attended a jewelry party.  Fortunately for me, all the bracelets were too large.  That was the beginning of my adventure.

I fell in love with wire… the feel, the textures, the way it has a mind of its own. 

          In 2013, another artist suggested that I try dichroic glass jewelry.  I had never heard of it, and not only that, it took me two weeks to pronounce it!  I took a leap and jumped into a whole new world of glass.

 I use four to six layers of small dichroic pieces of glass to make my pendants.That is what gives it its depth.  Then it is fired in a kiln.  When I open the kiln lid it is always a pleasant surprise.  I never know how they will turn out.  A rainbow of shiny colors is just waiting for the finishing touches. 

What do you see in the dichroic glass?  Step in and let your imagination run wild!​
