Beading with recycled and single-use plastics
BEADING Beading is the act of threading one object to another object. The rich history of beading utilises many materials allowing beads to take many different forms. The only necessary quality, that is required for an object to be considered a bead, is its ability to be thread therefore requiring a hole that pierces through the object (from front to back or left to right).

No End to ideas !
It all starts with a pair of scissors, and in most cases, sometimes ends with a final snip. Then comes an idea. Sometimes from being inspired by a photo, product or experience. I am the person who says, “I could make that...” then takes it to the the next level by figuring out not only how to make it, but uniquely mine. My home and walls are filled with my art!

Remember Three Rs of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle? There's much more to it.
Remember the classic 3Rs of environmentalism? Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. These three little words used to make daily sense to millions of us. Of course, I grew up on the heels of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" and the first blue bin craze. Plastic crates seemed like they were on every suburban curbside filled with people's barely sorted junk.

Plastic-eating bacteria! Might it solve the plastic pollution problem?
Micro-plastics have shown that they are really becoming a massive problem for the environment and even invading our food chain. To put it simply, all types of plastic waste are impacting our ecosystem from the highest mountain to the depths of the ocean.

My Pledge for Mother
I've always had this ordained guilt for space my body and I take upon this earth. I see people throwing things away senselessly, fighting over prices and materials just for it all to fill landfills and clutter backyards to collect rust. I've always tried to search for the right, for the intention in everything I do. The intense guilt and self-loathing I felt when I would be told "that's junk, just throw it away" overwhelmed me as a kid. They start you off young, cutting out bold laminate letters reading "Remember to Recycle" in my first-grade classroom, right above the cubbies as you hang up your backpacks and take off your shoes. Continuing further with notes by light switches in my seventh-grade classroom, "The last one out turns off the light!", and even a designated student every week to make sure all computers were off after free time.
