There are two things that everyone should do during the day - sing and write - even if you can't carry a tune or spell a word you should just fill your soul with both.
Lift me up to the stars - Lift me with the promise
that you shall always be there - lift me gently with love and care
Lift me sweetly with the strength of your heart
and whispers that I shall never fall far
Lift me up!

My necklace was juried into the Exhibit at the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the Evoke Gallery in St. Paul, Minnesota in 2007. The necklace includes my glass flowers and leaves but also incorporates seed beads, crystals and pearls. This piece is also featured in the ISGB Ads for the 2007 Fall Flow Magazine and the Fall 2007 Profitable Glass Quarterly.
Glass Bead Workshop is a Lark Books Publication by Jeri Warhaftig coming out in the Spring of 2008 featuring my Key's Hibiscus.
Beaded Jewelry the Complete Guide by Susan Ray features my glass flowers in a piece by Artist Sandra Webster.
The Bead Review II by Brad Pearson features two pieces of mine, one is a single flower the other a set of flowers, Pages 39 and 63.
I am a Self Representing Artist [SRA #S 7] and a member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers and the Florida Chapter of ISGB, Florida Glass Dragons. These memberships help me to support the education and sharing of ideas in glass beadmaking. I also participate in "Hope Bead Project" every year which is a project to help the citizens of a small community in Etheopia. Most of my practice beads are given to young girls to encourage them to explore art. Everyone should spend part of every day doing something creative - it's good for the harmony of your soul and always give to life more then you take.
