I think I might be getting the hang of this. I'll see if I can post a detail of the necklace I submitted for the ISGB Metamorphosis show. let me know what you think!
I started making beads in 1997 with the idea that I would be using them as components in my mixed media sculptures. I have a Masters in Fine Arts (University of Oregon) and previously was painting and drawing in addition to the sculpture so it wasn’t much of a leap for me to start making sculptural beads. I live in a ranching community in Colorado. I started with the ponies. Since that first foray into sculptural beadmaking I’ve expanded my “Western” line of beads to include cowboy boots, cowgirls in chaps, cowboy hats and guitars.
I am also involved with numerous Rock Art Associations in the West and that interest propelled me to make my petroglyph beads.
