Jewelry, beads, crystals, glass, crochet wire work, Yard Art
and Ceramic Painting

Welcome
and thank you for visiting our wonderful Gallery!
I was born and reared in
I moved from
in August 2008 to be closer to family.

My adult children live in
I learned the art of stained glass in 1981.
For years, I have made all forms of stained glass including but not limited to walls, table tops,
glass stepping stones, windows, garden art and jewelry.
I shared my passion with others by teaching
in my private shop
and through
from 86 – 2009, until I relocated to
Several years ago, while watching
my daughter hand craft silver jewelry,
I became enamored with this art and the idea
of combining the jewelry with my glass.
I have worked with the
Bigfork Artists Gallery & Co-op since 2000.
My jewelry is being displayed for sale in several shops in Bigfork, Montana, Durango, Colorado
and now Sandpoint, Idaho!

I take pride in the fact that all of my ear wires, hooks and fasteners for my earrings and necklaces
are handmade from sterling silver wire.
I use sterling silver wire, crystal and glass beads.
I love working with beads, glass, wire and being surprised with what I end up with.

I also make crocheted jewelry & beaded utensils/mini ware/servers.
Whimsey Ware

I call my painted pottery "Whimsy Ware" -
it is a different way for me to keep my mind active & learning, very fun & totally different
than anything I have ever done.
I have to keep busy - there is always something else to make, that I can add to my wares.


Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share part of myself with you.
