About me

Location Denver, CO
Introduction I live in breathtaking Colorado, am an award winning designer and one of 33 worldwide official Swarovski Ambassadors and teach for Swarovski. I was the editor of BeadingDaily.com. My creations have been represented in galleries spanning the globe including Canyon Rd. - Santa Fe, Alaska, Cayman Islands, Italy, Germany & the Virgin Islands. I invented Sassy Silkies™, hand painted silk scroll beads, as well as designed and created jewelry for the Jimmy Buffet Band backup singers and dancers! I was on HGTV and have regular appearances on PBS, Beads Baubles and Jewels and Quilting Arts. My jewelry and art has been featured in over 29 publications including: Belle Armoire, Lapidary Journal, Stringing, Beadwork, Bead Style, Crafts Business, Simply Beads, SewNews, Sewing Savvy, Piecework, Step by Step Beads, Crafts Report Vogue Patterns, & Bead Unique. I wrote my first book in 2005, Sassy Silky Savvy and Fabulous Fabric Beads. I’ll be teaching on the Princess cruise lines and Swarovski Tucson. I love my dogs, egg nog and chocolate (not necessarily in that order), am also heavily addicted to beads!
