Introduction	Making glass beads and jewelry is my passion. I have been at it for over 15 years. I continue to find inspiration all around me. I am very fortunate to live and work in the wonderful climate of Southern California. 25 California Pepper Trees surround my studio. They are graceful and always green. In the spring, the trees get small blossoms that turn into red pepper berries later in the year. From my studio I can watch finches, doves, and hummingbirds fly around the trees while I make beads or create jewelry. It is so peaceful and tranquil! This is truly the best time of my life.
