"I have been involved in making all types of art for most of my life. I
started doing crewel embroidery at the age of 10 and some
woodworking as a teenager. I have run the whole gamut from tole
painting to cross stitch and then I happened upon rubber stamps.
My collection grew from a small shoebox full to one iris cart after
another. I fell in love with polymer clay and have been working with it
about 7 years. I have been published several times, from an article
about paper towel stamping in Somerset Studio to being featured in
Lark Books 400 Polymer Clay Designs. I am currently toying with
hot glass and producing my own lampwork beads. I have even
developed some tools to that I sell to glass workers. I design and
make my own wire jewelry incorporating polymer clay beads/and or/
glass beads in my pieces. I have taught classes for 4 years in
various states and currently teach in my home studio."
