I am a multi-talented artist currently working out of Benton, Arkansas. My artwork has been inspired by my lifelong travels across Europe and the United States. My love of art began while I was in middle school, when I sold my first painting after winning a local art contest. I painted off and on for several years before focusing on Native American-influenced bead work jewelry and beadweaving whil
e living near the Comanche reservation in Oklahoma. Later, while living outside of Aachen, Germany, I worked as a professional photographer, mural artist, and painter. While there, I painted murals in the local grade school at the NATO base in Gelenkirchen in addition to selling my artwork to soldiers and tourists. After returning to the United States, I began making lampwork jewelry and once again revived my childhood activity of beadweaving, a practice that eventually earned me the attention of the Queen Margaret II of Denmark and Connie Francis among many others when my work was on display at the Saatchi Gallery in London. Overtime I re-focused my artistic skills on stained glass, having been inspired by the stained glass I saw in the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Ever since that point, I have been delving into various forms of glass art. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
