In her own words...

"The first time I ever used polymer clay was to make a funky pair of Kandinsky inspired dangly earrings to match a painting I had in a show when I was a student at Emily Carr College of Art and Design in 1989.

 
I detoured from art school when I had my children but after getting a computer and logging into my very first internet-based arts community in 1994 I rediscovered my creative self and spent a few years immersed in self-directed explorations in papier mache, paper-making and book arts.


One day I needed to figure a way to drill a hole through a pebble to add as an accent for a project I was working on. It came to mind to try to make a stone with polymer clay.





Making the little Beachstones was so much fun I joined an online polymer clay group and was drawn into a innovative community of artists who are fascinated by this wonderfully adaptive medium that is making inroads in the art world. I've been a full time polymer clay artist for over twelve years now I'm loving it!"
