A Little bit about my history
I moved around a lot during my childhood years, living in
Texas, New Mexico, South Carolina and Colorado. As a newlywed
with a hubby in the Navy, we moved to Washington state, California,
then back home to Colorado.
It seems I have gone "full circle" and currently live in San Antonio,
Texas. Colorado will always be home. I spent most of my
growing-up years there, and to me, it's the most beautiful place in the
U.S.

I attended Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, CO with a major
in Fashion Design. As with many artists, creativity was sort of "bred
into me". My sewing/crafting "officially" began at the young age of 8,
beginning with sewing and all types of needlework. Living with my
grandparents was quite an adventure. My Grandmother was a
great teacher for needle crafts. I can remember designing clothes
for my dolls and making newspaper patterns. My dolls were the best
dressed girls in town. At least, they had an extensive wardrobe.
Never one to let the grass grow under my feet, I have tried just
about every type of needlework and art/ craft around. A typical
"jack of all trades".
I believe I have finally found my niche with metal clays, fused glass
and polymer clay. I love to experiment with new shapes and designs
and I specialize in one-of-a-kind creations.
During my adult life, I have done various jobs as well as being very
active within American Red Cross. I taught combinations of
swimming, First Aid, and CPR for 35 years, having made my "mark"
with the infant water safety program. Currently, I do a lot of
volunteer work with several groups in San Antonio when I'm not in
my studio, teaching classes or on the computer.
On the home front, I've been happily married for over 40 years to my
hubby, Doug. We've known each other since age 11, and have two grown
children, Tamitha (Tammi) and James (Jamie). Both are currently living in
Orlando, Florida. No grandkids yet, but 2 frisky granddogs. We keep
hearing stories of grandchildren to come. Time will tell.
In the "Metal Clay" world, my certifications include the following:
PMC - Levels I and II (original version)
PMC - Rio Rewards
Art Clay - Senior Instructor
