My motto:
“If the sun does not shine – I paint myself one and if the flowers don’t bloom -I paint myself some”
I inherited my creativity from my mother who always encouraged and out of painting became drawing. I mostly used watercolors since I loved the color effects I could achieve with them and some times with oil or acrylic.
For a I while I was into photography and even took some classes for it in my school.
By the age of eight we moved to my mother’s hometown Berlin where we stayed for 5 years.
This great and amazing city influenced and characterized me tremendously. I inhaled all the wonderful impressions like a sponge, and converted all this into colorful drawings. This gave me great pleasure and gained me positive recognition by my teachers as well.
Back in Bruehl I was lured on stage for 3 years. I took over the roll of Magenta in our regions only Rocky Horror Picture show stage group. We preformed every weekend and because of our growing success even appeared on TV a couple of times.
Due to a family decision I was sent to spend 6 months in Chicago to polish and enhance my English proficiency. What a great challenge! I’ve been here ever since, and Chicago has become my second home.
My next adventure took me into the computer world, not realizing I would develop such a passion for Web Design and Digital Art. With the help of books and friends I taught myself this fun and very useful trade in no time.
The craft of jewelry making was brought to me in 2000 through a dear friend who showed me how to use pliers and jewelry wire. I was fascinated and intrigued and knew I had to learn and master this craft.
I love to create jewelry out of glass beads/pendants, corals, stone, and whatever I can find to turn into a unique necklace, bracelet or earrings. Since that day back then I’ve been mesmerized by these little colorful beads and developed my own unmistakable style over the years.
Due to my love to glass beads/pendants my interest in making my own beads/pendants grew stronger. I gathered information and books on this flaming subject for 2 months. Then in May 2008 my fiancé and I took a Lampworking class and after that I went out to get us the needed materials to start our new hobby right away.
“Beads are born, created and come to life through love and flames. They are unique as you and I. So let yourself bedazzled by their beauty”
I hope all my visitors will be enchanted by the verity of colors and shapes of my beads and necklaces displayed here on my web site as much as I.
Enjoy your visit,
