I have been an artist for more than 20 years, graduating from the Floss School of Fine Arts in Honolulu, Hawaii.

I discovered beads several years ago when I had to spend a lot of time waiting and couldn't take my paint box. About a year after that I took my first lampworking class from Leah Fairbanks and Kim Isibin. It took almost a year to get my studio set up and I've been happily obsessed with beads ever since.
