I am a mostly self-taught beadweaver using traditional hand stitching techniques to combine seed beads into my designs, creating unique jewelry pieces. Some of the stitches I use are: peyote stitch, herringbone stitch and brick stitch in symmetrical and sometimes freeform styles. Czech beads, Japanese cylinder beads and nylon beading thread are my main materials.

I also have an interest in other fiber techniques and incorporate these into my jewelry: lucet braiding, pin loom weaving, knitting and crochet. Other interests are knitting, hand spinning and weaving and I create scarves, shawls and hats with my handspun yarn.
