ABOUT THE ARTIST
I was born in LA (lower Arkansas), where flowers flourish and southern ladies know how to plant, grow, and arrange them. I claim my southern heritage and incorporate it into my artwork with great love. The traditional designs of southern culture led me to china painting instead of more contemporary art forms when I was very young; I painted while other kids were learning to play piano. I grew up to teach public school art but since 2006 have poured all of my creative energy into enamel pendants. These pendants show my love of plants and the mystery of their color accents. Many of my designs comprise multiple enameled parts that uniquely mimic the botanical wonders of nature. I am excited and surprised every time I remove a piece from the kiln and see how the dry glass powder has been magically transformed into an iridescent color. Each firing teaches me more about how shades and colors evolve, and each completed pendant inspires me to create another unique design. It's an exhilarating cycle, and I thrive in it.
