As I travel
the world, I love to collect beads. Each of my hand made pieces is an
expression of these encounters. These adornments are designed for body
and soul. I find working with color, glass, stone and crystal to be a
wonderful voyage for myself as well as for the collector of the piece.
Each bead is carefully chosen and represents a place, memory and experience.
An energy exchange first occurs between myself, the bead collector and
the piece, and finally between the wearer and the piece.
