Using a single needle and tiny beads, I explore the characteristics and push the possibilities of basic stitch structures.  Each new piece leads to new ‘what if…?'s.  I just love seeing how things go together.  My reward is in capturing space and light in a three-dimensional, textural form that is innovative, yet eminently wearable.
