I am inspired by rock and nature.
I have a degree in Design from UCD, and worked in Berkeley, CA for a textile company. Then I left to raise my kids, but always continued to create and develop in many different mediums. But stones and lapidary always held a fascination for me. Many years later, I returned to UCD to take a class in lapidary, and I was in heaven! My childhood experiences with a tumbler came back, and many hours spent on hands and knees as a child, searching through the landscaping rock paths of my childhood home for rounded and smooth river quartz.
My growing collection of cabochons I made led to wire wrapping. Starting with more classic wraps, to the creative genius of Eni and teachings of DKHeath, and using those skills as a springboard for my own visions, I use wire as a pallet of color in mixed pieces of very fine wires.
