I am a portrait artist and diligently working at it for 25 years.  I work in graphite or colored pencil for the most part.  

     I am also a beadworker and enjoy the hands-on approach to jewelry making.  I bead in the Native American style.  

     I have an Associate of Liberal Arts Degree.  One of my better achievements at age 46.  

    I have been a waitress, office worker and museum curator, which was my last job before retirement.  The museum curator's job fell right in line with all of the collecting over the years.      

     Having always been a collector.  I decided a few years ago to try and sell some of the things which had been collected.   So much of what I sell has been at my home or  in a co-op shop area.  Last year I opened a small shop attached to my house.  Realizing that the location was bad and way out of the main stream to have good sales, I started selling on Ebay. 

     Over time I have devoted a lot of time to collecting vintage, collectible jewelry and my focus for selling is in that area.
