Background (Profile)	I have been an artist all my life and started painting portraits and Landscape in oils and acrylic painting. Then in 1975 I found a small shop that sold decorated eggs. I learned the art and won several 1st place awards and Best of Shows. I learn stained glass, fused glass, polymer clay, and many other arts. I wrote instructions for many of my projects and started teaching. Teaching is where I share my love of art. I saw PMC on television and on the internet. Tried it and decided I wanted to know more about it. I attended my first artist retreat and the rest is history. No more looking back. PMC is my favorite medium of all. I am wowed by all of its possibilities.
What I like about PMC	I love the easy of creating and the gotta-have it now factor. PMC has allowed me to show-case my work and be able to created many jewelry pieces. With imagination and clay anything is possible.
Specialty Skill (PMC Technique)	(PMC Technique) Bracelets, collages and rings are my specialty. When I learned to combine pmc and and kaleidoscopes, I was in my element. I took a class from Alice Alper-Rein in Dallas to learn PMC and kaleidoscopes. I took every class I could get on PMC and read every book.
Teaching Area	My studio is located in Waco, TX. Jan Hale and I own and operate Collage Gallery and Studio. We have many PMC Classes as well as Certification, glass classes, fused glass, advanced fused glass, jewelry classes and metalsmithing. I will be having my certification classes in Waco, Texas.
Specialty Skill (Non-PMC Technique)	Glass, stained glass, fused glass, slumping, mechanical techniques. I love problem solving.
