Tell us a bit about yourself? Apart from being ‘creative’ what do you do?
I’m all about creating most days. I use beautiful stones, crystals and beads and combine them in to strands of beautiful colors adorned with decorative charms. Hamsa hands, evil eyes, sports, and angels are just a few of the charms that enhance my creations. My clients display them on windows, cars, purses and in their homes.New in my workshop is an etched glass votive with three images. When I’m not beading, I work part time at an integrated health clinic and support my children’s soccer teams.

What inspires you to do the kind of work you do?
Since my first coloring book, I’ve been fascinated with colors and crafting. That evolved into my greeting card business and to my beaded beauties. I’m observant of fashion trends and the featured colors each season. Currently, I’m enjoying working with shades of turquoise and teal, and my favorite color is purple.

Do you look up to anyone? Who? Why?
I looked up to my dad Joe. He worked long hours in the insurance industry and yet made time for his wife and his five daughters and his beloved wood working. Our family loved decorating and making holiday ornaments.

What other passions do you have in your life?
I am passionate about my loving family and friends. Each completed project fills me with gratitude. It’s a way for me to share my joy, love and light with others. I appreciate hearing from customers how they display their beaded beauties. I encourage everyone to tap in to their own creative expressions. I’m passionate about love, kindness and creativity. How do you promote your work?
They’re sold at East West Bookstore-Seattle and through my large network of family and friends. They will be featured on my website soon.
