Introduction I started my artistic life with painting, then moved to recycled/mixed media. I started a recycled art show in my small town (when most of the population still viewed it as trash) This year we will celebrate out 10th year! When I began nursing school, I could not continue with larger projects so I began making jewelry.{I mistakenly thought it would be quicker and take up less space)I was able to quit my job and support myself while in school by selling jewelry. But once I graduated and began working full,I found I have no time to create. Jewelry continues to be my primary medium, but I still love mixed media pieces. I love making jewelry for so many reasons. It makes me feel connected to the community when I know the piece will be sold. It creates a bond between you and the wearer. Jewelry often prompts conversations between strangers that may never have happened were it not for the jewelry they wore. 2012 will be the start of my 3 year plan to be more active in creating. .
Interests all things creative. I love art...viewing art, creating art, talking about art....
