I found my love for designing handmade beaded jewelry in a bead shop in Eureka Springs. I started designing right away and when I took my pieces to work to show my friends, they wanted some for themselves. In a very short time, what started out as a fun hobby, turned into much more -- my new life path as "The Jewelry Lady".

The Journey Began

I found that my precious customers were always buying my jewelry for their friends and family, but hardly ever "splurged" on themselves. My dream was to make jewelry that everyone would have fun wearing, but that would also be affordable so that those lovely giving women could still buy a piece or two for themselves (many times the same piece they bought for their friends!) 

I began doing a few art shows in the area and became a member of the Springfield Area Farmer's Market to sell my wares. I made many friends and over the course of several months, and was blessed with a large following of loyal customers. I now design for people all across the country, mostly from those who receive gifts of my jewelry and want to purchase the designs for their loved ones as well.

And Now

I still sell each week at the Farmer's Market and love it!  I still love working one-on-one with my loyal customers and love to design that special piece just for them. I have also expanded my interests into wire wrap designs,fused glass and clay art.  I still enjoy trying new things all the time!

My true love is doing art shows and homeshows where I can really get to know my customers and give them that special attention that they deserve (please see my other pages for details on my shows and homeshows). 

I hope that you will enjoy your designs as much as I have enjoyed designing them for you.

May God bless you and yours always!
