As a sculptor, I am fascinated by women with attitude and the pets that own them. Using glass beads, I create 3-D snapshots that celebrate the whimsical moments of everyday life.

Seed beads are sewn together to form a skin that entirely covers a hand-built wire armature. A piece can take up to six months to create.

My current artistic themes include dancing blue-hair ladies, flying wiener dogs, and tricycle riding grandmas.

I make art to feed my soul.
I sell art to feed my son.
