My work has been sold and exhibited at many juried art shows and has been published in several magazines including Bead and Button, Beadwork and Lapidary Journal. In 2012 my 'Uchikake Kimono' (Wedding Kimono) was a finalist in the international Bead Dreams competition and was displayed at the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Another work, 'Janet from Another Planet' was featured on the York Beads website.
For over 22 years I have continued to explore this ancient art, moving forward in three-dimensional design, experimenting with shape, color and texture. Each piece is planned using a mathematical approach, adding one bead at a time to achieve geometric forms. Many hours of attention and expert craftsmanship go into every design. All work is done solely by me in my studio in central New Jersey.
