Coral Reef Textures
The most popular commission request is to create a coral reef textural piece including a seastar. I have made many of these incredibly organic pieces that almost move out of the shadow box frames. 5 x 5 inches. Seed beads, thread, felt, and pearls.

Before I started making art with beads, I was primarily a watercolor artist. About six years ago, I accepted a job as a jewelry apprentice and was re-introduced to the world of beading that had previously been only a childhood pastime of mine.
Each piece I create is hand embroidered with needle and thread on felt. Most of my work is commission based, from portraits to marine life.
