HI! My name is Kathy Graham and this is my family.
I live in Arizona with my husband, two kids, a dog, and a Betta fish.
I've always been drawn to the arts and creative endeavors.
Drawing, painting, music, and writing children's stories are all things I have dabbled in.
Dance and sewing have been more intensive areas of interest.
I have a degree in dance from the University of Michigan and I have been sewing since I was 10 years old.
Naturally I jumped at the chance to work in the costume shop at U of M.
After I got married and moved to Arizona, I found a job in the dance department costume shop at Arizona State University.
Once again I was able to work on costumes and take dance classes.
About four years ago, I started looking for a home business.
At the time, I was thinking I would make creative quilts and utilize my sewing skills, but something just wasn't clicking.
Turns out I needed a change and didn't realize it yet.
This is when I discovered working with glass.
My years of dance training came into play with the understanding that becoming proficient at anything requires discipline and practice first, then the creative fun begins.
I enjoy the whole process though.
Now, I choreograph sets of beads and think about ways of someday combining fibre art and glass art.
Working with glass is a never ending adventure.
Looking back, I am glad I took that first step and know this is an artistic endeavor I can pursue for the rest of my life.
