I create bejeweled pieces of three dimensional art. I recycle everyday ordinary objects and adorn them with Swarovski crystals, assorted glass beads, plastic beads and buttons. I am also a mosaicist.

| | Working with small beads and crystals is my passion. |
| | Here is a collection of boxes I created over the last decade. |
| | I was inspired by an artist named Sharon Von Senden. She created the mosaic that covers the walls and floor at the St. Louis Museum. Her work can be seen at http://www.mosaicatlas.com/atlassit e.aspx?RegionID=55&LocationID=321. It is absolutely stunning. |

I was born in Fremont California in 1967. After spending time in southern California I moved to San Francisco in 1987. Shortly there after I was inspired by a jewelery box in a boutique. It was so beautiful I thought that I could create something similar. I did! My first piece is called "Inspiration". It is in the Bejeweled Boxes section of this site. From there I would create boxes for friends and family as gifts. I discovered that my work required focused concentration. Most people think that I am insane...
