About Me...
People always ask me how I got started designing and creating my own line of jewelry. I tell them, it all started with an
expensive bracelet that I purchased on clearance. It had a lot of large beads and I decided to take it apart and make a few
necklaces. Which then turned into making bracelets, then earrings and the list goes on…
I began designing jewelry in 2002 and have not stopped since. It truly is my passion.
I have done juried and non-juried Summer and Fall Craft Shows, Holiday Craft Bazaars, Town Festivals, and lots of Home
Parties. I am now teaching a beginner and an advanced beading class out of my home. My work has been shown in a few
beauty salons around my home state, Illinois . With the wonders of www.technology I can
now show my work around the world to people like you! (Without being under a white tent in the hot summer sun.)
On a more special note, I am married to a wonderful husband. We are the proud parents of our 23-year-old daughter who
is now attending her last year at Roosevelt University . She is majoring in musical theater and keeps us very busy with all
of her theatrical and musical talents. When I am not creating my jewelry, I am a registered nurse and work at BCBS of IL
as a Blue Care Advisor in the Wellness program and its headquarters is located in Chicago, IL .
Studied with many national artists and jewelry masters including:
Sharon Clark
