I was born in Louisiana and have lived virtually all over the united states.  Having moved to so many locations I developed a great appreciation of the differences in cultural art and lives of many people.  I have always been more interested in the eclectic art of each region and off beat people and places.

I have tried may forms of expression such as sewing, knitting, crocheting, braided and hooked rugs and so on and on.  Finally I found my true love, jewelry making.  It all started in San Diego.  I had gone to visit my sister who lived there.  She ask me if I would be interested in learning a new craft.  Naturally I jumped at the opportunity.  My sister introduced me to her jewelry teacher who was teaching Needle weaving, and my love of jewelry was born.
