I am an enamellist, silversmith, and lampworker (I make glass beads). My life is about color. I suffer from sensory overload and that is coupled with being an aclectic. It is therefore difficult for me to focus much time on one body. I have been making glass beads for 10 years now, enameling for 3, and silversmithing for about 4 years. The world is my palette—it is imperfect and that is reflected in much of my work—not a perfect circle or square—rough around the edges. Even nature, which for me is the closest anything comes to perfection, manifests its "perceived flaws" in the imperfect flower, the decaying tree, or the old-ridden fencepost. All these beautiful "flaws" drive my work.
