I began drawing as a child and art became my passion over the years. I attended Slippery Rock University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I channeled my creativity into my classroom and taught for thirteen years before quitting to become a stay-at-home mom. I found myself without a creative outlet and began taking painting classes and spent the next five years creating my own designs on wood, pots and whatever I could find to paint. With the birth of my second son I needed something easier to “put up on a shelf.” I bought my first bag of beads and was addicted! That was five years ago.
My designs have grown and evolved into a unique style all my own. I hope you wear my designs with joy.
