My Story

Welcome to my artistic journey! With a passion for jewelry-making since 1989, my story began in a Portland bead supply store. Captivated by the sparkling beads, I embarked on a creative endeavor, teaching myself through dreams and determination.

In the early 90s, I ventured into selling my beaded jewelry at Grateful Dead shows. Later, life led me to Utah, where I pursued my passion more seriously, collaborating with retailers and designing for renowned catalogs.

In the 2000s, I took a break to focus on music and family. However, destiny led me to Southern Oregon in 2021, where I rediscovered my collection of beads and reignited my creative spirit.

Living in Southern Oregon, surrounded by inspiring artists and breathtaking scenery, I found a new sense of purpose. Today, I am thrilled to return full circle to my original passion, weaving beads and exploring exciting mediums like knitting and macrame.

With immense gratitude for the online support I've received, I look forward to sharing my artistic journey with you all. Thank you for supporting SheWeaves!
