Artist Statement

The first time that I can remember making jewelry from wire, I must have been around 9. I'm dating myself now, because I got the wire from the telephone man who was installing new phones for people in the neighborhood. Yes they really had to run wires back then! We made those simple little spiral rings from the multi-colored wires that we as kids would clamor for. It was so much fun and kept us busy for hours. I was also one of those kids who loved marbles and pretty rocks, my pockets were always full of them, which my mother did not appreciate when they made it into the washer.
So it would make sense at some point in my life I would make my way back to that. I have used many mediums in a variety of crafts, I am always making something and I could list them all, but that would be boring.  I'm sure at some point you will see some other craft stuff from me, but for now the wire and stones are my primary focus.

Being creative  is more than a past time for me it's what keep me going, it is my soul's path, and the truest part of my being. A friend of mine once pointed out how I physically change when I start talk about my crafting.
