About me

Gender Female
Location California, United States
Introduction As a Design Team member for Amate Studios, I have an A.A. & a Certificate in Electronic Multi-Media from Orange Coast College. Aside from my day job, I am a polymer clay artist; designing my own jewelry line & sculpting. I also have training in many other mediums, including: water color, oil painting, photography, computer graphic design & rhythm tap dance. A 9 year member of the Orange County Polymer Clay Guild, I've had pieces published in books by Dottie McMillan & LIsa Pavelka & have had photos published in Polymer Cafe Magazine. Over last several years, I've assisted in workshops taught by Lisa Pavelka & Donna Kato at the C.H.A. in Anaheim & have demoed for several companies, including Amate Studios & J.H.B. I've shown at the Laguna Beach “Winter Fantasy” show, Tucson’s “To Bead True Blue” & the “Pasadena Bead and Design Show” with mentor Christi Friesen, as well as on my own in other shows & venues across the U.S. As a finalist in the 2008 Amaco Bottle of Hope competition, my bottle of hope was included in the advertising for the 2009 competition. I am available to teach group or private classes in the local area.
