I have loved Art for as long as I can remember. My mother took a pastel class when I was five and I can remember gazing in awe at the beautiful colors all tucked neatly a small wooden box with a piece of cotton cloth covering the pastels. My mother would not let me use them because she was probably afraid they would end up like my broken and very used crayons. She did instill a love of art in me and for that I am grateful.

Through school I took art classes, painted murals, and decided in high school, after i gave up the dream of becoming a soap opera actress, to become an art teacher and an artist. After graduating from Elmira College with a Masters degree in Art Education and thirty four years later, I am living the dream of having a business that encompasses my love of jewelry and polymer clay and teaching. So I have two careers at the moment; teaching art to high school students who want to make income from their art and the owner and designer of Wear-Art, "one of a kind jewelry and home decor"

My inspiration comes from everywhere. I love to look at which colors fiber artists are working with and from there I plan color schemes for jewelry. I do not follow trends I choose colors that I think look pleasing to the eyes. I tend to gravitate towards earth tones,teals, blacks and whites and purples, purples, purples!

The light switch idea was a suggestion from a friend, she thought they would be popular and she was right. I use a reverse mosaic style and incorporate other canes of clay designs, faces and flowers. Some of them have dancing figures drawn as a stencil first and then cut out of the clay.
