About Me

After 12 years of living a difficult, oft misjudged, and rarely accepted lifestyle, I have decided that it was time to grow in a different direction. An Artful one... I have a diploma in Visual Arts and Graphic Design, and will be adding a gemology diploma from the GIA. As an artist, my "premium medium" are beads. They bring out my deepest artistic expressions, and try to spend every day working with them. My goal is to make a living with my art, concentrating on private sales, art shows, galleries, boutiques, trade magazines and books. I am also surrounded by various loved ones who readily enable my beading habit by mass collecting a multitude of my pieces. In the meantime, I'm having fun working part-time as a fitness instructor,Belly Dancing, Beading, and being a full-time MOM!

For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:

Dear Auntie, Words cannot express my gratitude at the lovely unique gift of a rooster syrup dispenser you bestowed upon me. It will make a charming addition to the complete set of hand-turned pottery you brought back from Portugal for us last Christmas. You have impeccable taste in quirky kitch. Don't ever change! Lovingly yours, J, C, and J
