| ABOUT ME | |||
| MY STORY | |||
I am a lampwork glass artist living in Boise, Idaho with my husband and our two Dalmatians, Shelby and Kia. I started flameworking November 2005, all because I love unusual beads and when I discovered the existence of handmade glass beads earlier that year, I was immediately and forever hooked! My favorite aspect of bead making is putting together wonderful color combinations. I have always loved creating color combinations whether for jewlery, outfits to wear or in decorating my home so this is just a natural transition for me. I absolutely love making my beads and I sure hope you enjoy them as much as I do! I have taken classes from Ann Ricketts, Andrea Guarino, Stacy Frost, Kendra Bruno, Lisa St. Martin and Will Peterson in both glass bead making and wire working/jewelry making. I love learning so intend to keep taking classes in both torch and bench work. |

| MY STUDIO | |||
| This is my flameworking station in my home studio. There are two oxygen concentrators and a natural gas line just out of the picture to the right. I didn't want to have to worry about propane or oxygen tanks and find this method so convenient! There are lots of presses on the table to the left and of course I have lots of glass to play with. Most of that glass is from Italy. | |||
