I come from a family with various artistic talents - watercolor, woodworking, quilting, stained glass, masonry and poetry. In following my ancestral footsteps I have chosen stained glass and bead work as my media to express my artistic heritage. I have been a stained glass artist and teacher since 1982. My art is in private and public collections worldwide. I have been working as a bead artist since 2001. My jewelry pieces can also be found worldwide.

I have been taught by local artists in New Mexico and for bead work I have received instruction from PJ Solomanson of Kailua, HI. I apprenticed under Janet Flynn of the Beaded Rabbit in Great Falls, VA.

I believe that through my art I can grow and learn more about the world around me and where I came from. I hope that my work will inspire and encourage others in their artistic endeavors.
