Contrary to popular belief, I am not a patient person. I hate waiting.  Because I hate to wait, I have to keep my hands busy.  So I force myself to be patient working on my art. Since I can't easily lug around an easel, oils and canvas, I need to make my art portable for those inevitable lines in life.  My work has been published most recently in the Bead International 2008 & Beyond Basketry book and is part of the touring Bead International Exhibition.
