Since childhood I’ve been involved in one
form of art or another. My great grandmother
taught me to make doll clothing, I enjoyed this so much
that when I ran out of dolls my cousin (David) would
help me catch lizards & mice so I could
dress them.
From my grandmother I learned to design and sew
for others and myself. This came in handy when I worked
at “Suzy Creamcheese” a boutique that catered to
celebrities and socialites. I designed and custom made
many things while working there, costume jewelry, masks,
evening wear, wedding dresses, hats for the Kentucky
Derby and much more.
Anything that glitters and sparkles has always caught my
eye. 1980 I discovered Swarovski crystals and have
used them on everything from inlaying them in wood
to the art work I create now. I love the idea of
creating art with diminution, Mix Media and fantasy
gives me the opportunity to do that.
