| Introduction | Been doing artwork all of my life in all sorts of meduims, but found my "voice" in metalsmithing. I collect old beads and use old beads in some of my jewelry. It's awe inspiring to think of where they've been. I enjoy faceting gemstones, which I learned from a dear friend who was 85 when he taught me. I live on a small farm in the foothills of beautiful Mt. Hood with my spouse, dogs, cats and alpacas. |
