I have been making glass beads since 1999.  Originally I was apprenticing with a glassblower in Palm Springs, CA, USA.  While working with him I started playing around with lampworking and I haven't stopped since.  I have learned through experimenting and learning from mistakes.   I have been making and selling jewelry since I was 13 years old.  But have been around the arts my entire life.  Both my parents are crafts people, and I attended my first craft show at 2 months old( I slept under the table).

I was born in New Brunswick(1980), but grew up mainly in Ontario.  I have spent time living in California, New Hampshire, Mexico, and Finland, and have traveled to several other locations as well.  This I feel has a strong effect on my work.  Currently I live in Saskatoon with my husband and 2 sons and daughter.
