Meet the Maker

Beadecked

Burnaby,  BC 

In my third chapter of life (aka retirement), I’ve discovered a passion for creating jewelry with lustrous pearls, sparkling crystals and gorgeous glass beads in delightful geometric patterns, building on my earlier explorations in glass beadmaking. I like to keep my pieces affordable so others can indulge in beautiful bead creations—necklaces, earrings, bracelets and eyeglass straps that bring style and joy.

My previous adventures include freelance writing, journalism, and courses in glass blowing and beadmaking. Along the way, I’ve collected paintings, sculptures, glass art, ceramics and, of course, beautiful jewelry I consider wearable art from many local artisans. My parents instilled an early love of the arts, and I continue to enjoy the beauty in local artistry of all kinds.

I look forward to seeing you at the 2025 Handmade Christmas Makers Market! Please drop by to say hello.
