Loading... Please wait...I was born in 1951 and grew up in the San Francisco/Santa Cruz area. I was blessed to grow up in a creative environment , my father being an Architect and Painter and my mother working with Tapestry, Pottery and Jewelry. From the mid sixties to the early seventies I participating in the original Renaissance Faire's (California) living on site during the Faire many years. It was a strong influence in my early development in the Arts and life..... I began creating beadwork at that time.
