A little about the Artist . . .
I retired to Patrick County (in the Blue Ridge Mountains) from New Jersey.  After several trips to one of the Cherokee Reservations, an old passion re-surfaced for Native American art, specifically jewelry.  Thusly, the greater percentage of beadwork that I do leans heavily towards Native American design.  It's strange how life goes;  years ago I had a collection of Native American jewelry that I enjoyed comparing with the now famous issue of the 1975 Arizona Highways that showcased spectacular Native American jewelry.  The jewelry I owned went by the wayside when my younger daughter entered college, but my love for Native American design, especially turquoise jewelry, will never end.  I definitely thrive on change, so if you ask me my specialty, it could very well be something new!  I am a live studio as I wear my creations when I "go to town".

I am currently a member of Bull Mountain Arts Co-Op which is a juried art gallery in Stuart, VA, where I have about 20 creations displayed.  The members take turns "manning" the gallery.  Currently I am excused from doing so as I am the sole caretaker of my spouse who is terminally ill.
