Artist Statement:
Though various forms of
beadwork have crossed my path
throughout my years, it wasn't
until I made the life-altering
decision to become clean and
sober that beadwork took on my
life's ambition. Arts and
crafts had played a major role
in my life's upbringing,
especially coming from a poor
but extremely talented family
background. My late father
had been a Ferrier, a horse
trainer, blacksmith; he also
crocheted and did tatting, as
well as being a silver smith,
in his own right. I also
believe he was the original
‘Horse Whisperer”, but that is
a whole ‘nuther subject.
My Mother was a talented
leather carver, knitter, and
crotchetier. My older sister,
Diane, was the queen of
Macramé’ and my younger
sister, Theresa, had the gift
of clothier design beyond the
normal comprehensible,…………
especially in ethnic arena’s.
I drew, painted, sculpted, and
explored all the artistic
mediums, ………beads became me, I
become the beads, and beads
have become my artistic voice.
