Born and raised in the Cleveland Ohio area. I attended 12 years of parochial school and then attended Ashland College where I obtained my BSBA.

From an early age I was very interested in art. Lacking the talent to be a fine artist, I directed my pursuits to various craft mediums. My first exploration was in sewing. Necessitated by a strict budget. My mother was an excellent seamstress and taught me the basics.

Ater sewing, I moved onto semi-precious gemstone beading. I participated in several craft shows and enjoyed meeting new people. I stopped beading in 2018.

I have two current passions. One is reflective mosaic glass creatures and the other is epoxy resin items. Both pursuits allow me to be creative in the way I see sea life. Mosaic glass is tricky to obtain the correct fit in the pieces. Epoxy resin is challenging because there are so many areas where it can go wrong. I keep an inventory of small to medium size pieces and allow special orders for larger pieces.

My work is currently on display at The Dancing Crane which is located in the Village of the Arts in Bradenton FL. I am so excited to be included in her team of artists. She has a wonderful location with a gorgeous tea garden behind it.

When you have time, please check it out. It’s a wonderful way to have a leisurely stroll, enjoy the artists’ work and take a break in the tea garden
