I've been exposed to different forms of art and expression from a very young age. I studied as an art major in college, but left to pursue a modeling contract in New York City. I went on to have a successful international career and worked in the fashion industry for over ten years. I soaked in every moment of working with top magazines, clothing lines and industry professionals. Living in countries like Singapore, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, China and Indonesia, fed my soul. A love for everything full of culture and life, led to a further passion in design.

After returning to the states, I continued to pursue my interest in the arts, exploring areas of textile design, accessories and mixed media. I have since ventured into working in fiber arts, combining fiber such as silk, alpaca and wool to create one-of-a-kind, wearable art. This pursuit has transformed into the art of hand painted fabric beads. In addition to launching my ETSY site, Fire Art Design, I am currently designing new accessories in this medium including: pendants, cuffs and earrings.

This year is also bringing new endeavors and study in the area of metal arts and further focus on fiber work. I am moving forward in the world of design, production, instructors and mentors. I am also continuing to pursue my love for everything art; full of life, depth and that which brings happiness to the soul. Life is meant to be lived on every level, through every aspect, in every defining moment. May my one-of-a-kind pieces speak to you, as much as the process of creating them evokes life itself.
