Stained Glass, Wire and Beads

"My creative journey began over 50 years ago and started with oil painting.  I then went on to sewing, crocheting and knitting.  After that I began an 18 year journey with stained glass – a medium that still fascinates me today.  I then began beading, opened a bead store and, of course, fell in love with beading (still my love of glass).  I also learned the old art of Kumihimo which is Japanese braiding.  At the same time I became a Certified Zentangle Teacher; Zentangle is a creative, therapeutic and meditative art form – drawing one stroke at a time and creating beautiful abstract art.  (Everyone can do this) I closed my store after 9 years.  I then discovered alcohol inks which soon became another addiction for me.  After a couple of years, I happen to see a video on Youtube about acrylic paint pouring and that is where I am right now. 

​I make art because it feeds my soul.  I am always so amazed to see the results of all the art forms I have done.  There is something about the creative process that fascinates and satisfies me like nothing else does.  It can be very empowering and very humbling.  I would encourage everyone to try some kind of art.  Everyone is creative in their own way and the pleasure derived from experimenting is so satisfying."
