I am a seed bead and lampwork artist with a background in theatrical scenic and costume design. I feel lucky to be able to do my art full time. I am a Starman Beads Trendsetter and have taken part in four Battle of The Beadsmith Challenges. I have taught at the Bead & Button Show and the International Society for Glass Beadmakers (ISGB) Gathering as well as at Bead Societies and Stores around the Country.

I was a semifinalist in the lampwork category for Bead Dreams 2009 and won second place for my bead embroidered collarpiece in the Treasures of Toho 2009 Contest. The Treasures of Toho necklace can be seen in the February 2010 issue of Bead & Button. In 2010 Marsha Hines showed a collaborative piece in the ISGB show. In 2011 my Neptune's Tail Necklace won third place in the Bead and Jewelry category at the Vegas Glass Craft Expo. In 2012, my beaded sculpture won first place in the advanced division at the Treasures of Toho Contest. Since then, I have placed a second time in Bead & mButton's Bead Dreams and taken part in many Toho Beads Challenges.

I have been lampworking since 1992 and beadweaving since 1986. I have had the opportunity to meet and learn from some of the best beadmakers and flameworkers in the US. I began teaching both lampworking and beadweaving in 2000.

As always, I strive to provide the best in my handmade items. I invite you to try my selection and variety, shopping experience, and easy and convenient shipping and delivery.
