In the fall of 2006, I moved back to my hometown to work for my sister at her bead store. I quickly immersed myself into the beading world, sometimes kicking and screaming. Since then I have accepted my new-found passion and keep challenging myself to create exquisite jewelry.



My bracelet, Gilded Latice, is featured in the April/May 2009 Beadwork magazine. I love this bracelet!!! Photography never gives justice to things that have sparkle.
