About
I teach classes in Photography and Jewely making. I teach indiviual class and small group classes.
I have spent the last 10 years shooting sports and teaching other how to make jewelry now that many of the bead stores ahve close. With the majority of bead stores only on line, meaing now mroe hand on classes, I continue to teach out of my home or at a local coffee shop near you.
I love being creative with photography and capturing every day people doing every day tings. With beading and jewelry design, I love taking the basic technique and see how fart they can be streached to create someing different and unique that knowbody has ever seen. I also love making jewelry that involves recyceling of everyday items.

This is so important, even in ly line fo daily work as an elementary special educaotin teacher.
