I am recovering from a head injury which required me to leave my job. As I tried to improve my daily life, I ventured into alternative techniques to relieve/reduce my constant headache. I was lead to crystals and natural stones. I first began making sun catchers then settled on the lampshades. The design keeps me focused and creative. The creations give me purpose, and structure, while transforming my pain into art.
Artist Bio
I am currently the mother of my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I have bred two litters which was so rewarding. These two dogs have saved my life during this challenging period of my life. God and my dogs were my constant companions and pushed me through the most difficult, painful and stressful times.
I worked in the medical field for 10 years as a Case Manager and in the restaurant industry for 25+ years. I spent the last 23 working in Chesterfield County School District as the Child Nutrition Coordinator.
I have two beautiful and inspiring daughters which are grown and living their best lives.
I was a Girl Scout Leader for 8 years in Chesterfield County and coordinated events for all Girl Scouts within the county.
All my life I have supported and encouraged community service and community commitment.
Arts and crafts have always been my outlet to release stress and to remember my youth.
