Artist Statement:
Me? An artist? Since I can
barely draw stick people that
look like people, I thought it
could never happen. When I
discovered that I have an
amazing sense of color and
texture, the door to becoming
an artist began to open for
me. Then I discovered bead
weaving and the door flew
open. In off-loom bead weaving
I found the perfect medium for
me to use my sense of color,
texture, and movement to
express my creative ability.
As I experimented with
techniques to use in my
sculptures, my necklaces began
to take form. I love that
with the necklaces I can wear
my art and thus show it off.
It is good for my artist's ego
to hear all the compliments I
receive when I wear one of my
necklaces.
For all my work, I use tiny
glass beads called seed beads
and weave each bead
individually. I weave my
sculptures over a glass form.
It takes a great deal of
patience and attention to
detail to complete a sculpture
or necklace. Being a
perfectionist, it isn't
unusual for me to udo 20 or 30
hours of work to improve the
way a piece looks. ...
