Exciting news! I’ve recently had the great privilege to be interviewed by Valerie Hector as part of her new series, Beading Globally, that appears on her You Tube Channel. Called “Bead Knitting Now,” it is a recorded visual interview with Valerie about my work, interspersed with a slide show of images. The interview has gone live HERE (There may be a skippable ad prior to the interview’s start.)

As time permits, I hope you will check out at least some of it. (Fair warning: it’s two hours long!) This is kind of a big deal for me. ;-) No actually, it IS a big deal for me.

PS If you are not familiar with Valerie’s own work, please do check her out HERE. She is a big deal in the bead and art jewelry world. She is a consummate bead artist (using off-loom bead weaving) and deeply knowledgeable beadwork historian and educator. And she was an early supporter and encourager to me. I owe her a lot and was thrilled to be asked to do this interview, only the second in her series, after the incredible bead artist Laura McCabe.

Thanks in advance for your time.

I’m thrilled to announce that my Limited Edition Pipeline necklaces and Slider Bracelets are now available at Artisans On The Avenue in the beautiful northwest Philadelphia neighborhood of Chestnut Hill. I am a long time customer of this high end shop and honored to have my work on offer there. If you’re in the area I hope you will stop in for a look-see. Whatever you leave with will make your life that much more beautiful. Promise!

I’m excited to be returning to Northhampton Massachusetts on Columbus Day weekend, October 7-9, for the Paradise City Arts Festival. I exhibited there two years ago, at the tail end of the pandemic, when folks were just starting to feel comfortable attending large events with lots of people. It was a very successful show for me and I was so pleased at how well the show organizers took care of everyone, exhibitors and attendees alike. Not easy during those times. Mad respect.

If you are able to travel to the area (and it’s beautiful, especially this time of year) I hope you’ll stop by to see me and lots of new work.

Yes, I guess dreams do come true! This is where you’ll find me and my work from 12/6 – 12/11.

Could not be more honored to have been invited to be part of this show at the Museum of Arts and Design on Columbus Circle in New York City. Details HERE

If you are in or around the city, I hope you’ll stop by. And oh yes… It’s FREE!!!

Thrilled to share my debut participation in this beautiful show. And can you think of a nicer place to be in early fall (my favorite season!) than Northhampton, Massachusetts? I can only imagine how beautiful the foliage will be. Need an excuse for a Columbus Day Weekend road trip? I think you have it! I can’t wait.

The Three County Fairgrounds exhibition space, covered but open air, is the perfect choice for a live show given health concerns in our current climate. It’s my first in person show since the onset of the pandemic and I wouldn’t have signed on without the sincere assurances from the show’s organizers that the health and safety of both attendees and exhibitors is their top priority. I believe them. You can too.

What a nice surprise! The PR folks from The Society of Arts and Crafts alerted me to a listing in The Philadelphia Weekly, sharing news of my participation in the upcoming CraftBoston Fiber Stories Show. Not gonna lie… Always nice to see my work and name in print. Show opens on Juy 16. In THREE DAYS!! Counting down… 3 – 2 – 1… 🎆

Only nine more days until the opening of CraftBoston Fiber Stories, the newest virtual show to be offered by The Society of Arts and Crafts. I’m honored to have 10 pieces selected for this show and always happy to support and have my work recognized by this terrific organization, the oldest continuing non-profit champion of fine American craft. Lots of stories will be shared by the 40 some artists in this show, myself included. New for me was the creation of a short form video – really more of a slideshow – telling a bit of how I came to this work and what it means to me. It will appear on my Artist Page when the show opens on July 16. I look forward to reading the stories of others in the show and will welcome feedback on or questions about mine. I will share links as they become available, both here and on my Instagram page bio.
