About Me

I am a fulltime artist working in the medium of glass, creating beads for use by jewelry designers, my own fine jewelry, and plates, bowls and beyond. I work in my studio in Oregon in a sustainable manner, solely using glass made by a local manufacturer, and creating as many components in my work by hand as I can. I can even make things out of recycled glass. My beads are sold by auction on Justbeads.com, or join my "Jumping the Gun" mailing list to see and buy items 24 hours before they go to auction.I am a Mom now! Best job in the world, even tho the pay is lousy and the sleep is fleeting. =)I occasionally leave the glass studio to be a tour manager for Thomas Dolby (I am also his webmistress and fan liason), but I bring my beads on the road with me! Note: Musicians looking to friend me because of my connection to Mr. Dolby, I don't friend out easily, sorry.
