Ever since I could remember, I've always been a 'maker.' I hauled my crayons and markers everywhere as a child and I was always drawn to beautiful colorful art. In high school the art wing was my safe haven and I spent hours and hours there. I then went to college where I got a BFA in Graphic Design with a minor in Painting but I never fully dove into that degree as life called for a 'desk job' to pay the bills. So art took a back seat for some years and then started to bubble up again in the last 10 years. 

Since then I've been evolving through various mediums; I spent the first four years heavily involved in ceramincs where my love for hand sculpting and wheel throwing was all I could think about. I had a blast learning and expressing myself through this malleable medium. The next six years took my attention towards metal, specifically Wire Wrapping. My romance with wire wrapping began for my love of crystals, I wanted to find a way to be able to wear them in an aestherically pleasing way, so I dove into this expression with the help of tutorials, YouTube, and books.  I treasure natural gemstones and crystals as I feel their healing properties are an incredible gift and each piece is created with great care and mindfulness not only for the stone but also for the design. No two pieces are ever the same as each one is created individually and each stone picked carefully. 

Enter July 2021 and once again my art Self wants to explore yet another medium to dive into, another passion--STAINED GLASS! I took a 6-day stained glass class and my love for this new craft is taking off like a rocket! The colors, the textures, the skill of the craft itself...!! I am enamored with it. And so that's how StudioGlass31 was born and is continuing to grow and develop as I find my voice through glass just as I have found it through wire. I hope that the creations that flow through me also brings you Joy and excitement when seeing the light come through the beautiful colored glass and that a smile draws itself upon your face
