Striking, highly patterned and full of colour. Designed to create talk about the beauty of the world's endangered species and their struggles for survival. Current designs include: Lemur, Snow Leopard, Bengal Tiger, Seahorse, Sea Turtle, Dolphin, Tree Kangaroo and Nigerian Giraffe. |
A changing collection of beautiful gemstones that I have found around the world - they remind me that the earth's natural resources are finite and we must treasure what we take from it. Each one is cupped in a beaded bezzle that aims to treasure what it holds. No two pieces are the same in this collection. |
Based on a traditional beading stitch called Peyote the designs in this collection are full of circles, spirals and ziangles (beaded triangles). I use these shapes in my beadwork to talk about my desires to live in a world that embraces diversity. Circles express a desire to act inclusively, spirals a desire to continually grow (spiral) connections across our differences and Ziangles a desire to honor diverse pasts (Side 1), presents (Side 2) and perspectives (Side 3) in what we do, think and say. |

Perspectives - sneak preview
A collection in the making. Challenge the idea that there is only one way to see the world by wearing bead art that can be seen in many ways. See earring designs in the collection - your vantage point (front or back) determines what you see.
