 My goal is to enlighten, educate & inspire people to create beauty and express themselves through beadwork. Teaching is my number one joy! I have been teaching for 20 years, beading for 36 years and was born to be an artist! I see many people come into my class with preconceived limitations regarding art and beadwork. I strive to guide them through those limitations through experimentation and play. So many of my students are literally afraid to bust out and create freeform, fun beadwork. By the end of the class session, many thank me for pushing them beyond previous limits. This is the most satisfying aspect of teaching. I continue to push my own creativity and fears about acceptance of my art and try to listen to my instincts when making beaded art or art-to-wear objects. The art world and the world of art admirers in general have associated beads with the hippie days. I still hear comments to that effect! A quick study of some of the books & magazines on beadwork will dispel all of those notions. Beadwork has now entered the realm of fine art and fine wearable art. I hope to be one of the artists that helps create a new attitude, appreciation and respect for this versatile medium. |
