I make lampwork beads, one at a time, by melting rods of colored glass over a torch. The designs are made with thin “stringers” of glass in contrasting colors, ground colored glass (frit), sometimes using silver leaf, fine silver wire, or small slices of patterned glass called “murrini.” Using my beads, I then make one-of-a-kind wearable art jewelry. I highlight the beads in simple but stunning jewelry settings. My work features bold, distinctively graphic designs, and each piece has a unique personality. I do not make the same pieces over and over, as I am always learning and practicing new techniques and color combinations. My jewelry has a style that is recognizable. I strive for technical perfection and design cohesion in my work. Materials, in addition to the glass beads, include mainly silver, and occasionally onyx, glass, crystal or wood accents, spacers and clasps. I also make glass mobiles, a new challenge!
