Hi there....thanks for wanting to learn more about me!

 

I grew up in Grosse Pointe Park, MI - a suburb of Detroit. I moved to the Lansing area in the summer of 1995, and lived around the Lansing area for several years. Recently (May 07) I relocated to New England and currently live in central Massachusetts...wow is it beautiful out here!

 You will often find me on bead and jewelry related websites and forums, or chatting with a fellow artist or friend on the phone or online. I can't get enough of this fantastic lampwork community!! I am an Ebay addict and also love any pet/animal related sites I can find.

 I started out making Mother's bracelets with silver letter beads and crystals. From there I quickly discovered lampwork beads and I was obsessed with them instantly. I began purchasing them from various lampwork artists and incorporating them into my jewelry designs. After almost two years of strictly jewelry design, I decided to try my hand at the torch creating my own beads and discovered I love doing that, as well. I still enjoy purchasing beads from other glass artists and will continue to incorporate those in my jewelry designs.
