Bio

As a child I wasn't content just playing with Barbies, I wanted to create earrings for them out of beads and sequins. In my spare time I wove potholders and took them door to door to sell to my neighbors. I had a kick wheel and crafted hand clay pottery as a teenager and went to fairs to sell my work. I also hooked my own designed rugs on burlap and then used them more as wall hangings. Only since my children have developed their own creative interests and artistic skills, have I felt more free to explore my own.So as you can see, I've been working creatively on crafts all my life but have moved naturally into art with an emphasis on DESIGN only in the past few years. I keep returning to a few themes: beading, sewing, sewing beads, pottery. I have grown to thrive on vibrant color, lots of natural texture and a small detail of light-catching (iridescent) medium such as beads, metal or mica in paint. I still hope to catch the CHILDLIKE vision in my work. I have been photographing profusely for a year now and will soon be offerring Abstract Digital Prints in a 5 x7 format. See some at catchesthelight.blogspot for now and at etsy in May. I have 100% positive feedback and PayPal at eBay: username, catchesthelight.
