Over the last couple of months, I have fallen off the face of the earth. Again. At least off of the blogosphere anyway. It has been a crazy couple of months for me, to say the least. Work has been stressful and I was in the process of being interviewed for a new job. Not... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago I was contacted by a couple middle school students in D.C. who have organized an initiative called STEM to the Sky to expose more of their peers to science. They hold interviews with scientists from different fields to inspire middle and high school students to go into STEM. Such a great... Continue Reading →
Several years ago I took my daughter to "The Art of the Brick" exhibition in New York City. At first, my husband and I were pretty skeptical about how interesting it would be. What could you possibly do with Legos that hasn't been done before? We had been to the Legoland in Yonkers, where whole... Continue Reading →
It looks like we are finally crawling out of our socially distanced hibernation. While each one of us has had a very personal experience with COVID-19, most stories sound familiar.

From paintings and photographs to maps and architectural blueprints, the majority of human creative processes begin on a flat piece of paper. Of course, technology has shown great progress, making way for... Continue Reading →
While I would be the first person in the room to talk about all of the necessary precautions we all need to take to stop the spread of COVID-19, with vaccinations approaching 50% of the US population, things are beginning to look up again. People who have been vaccinated are now allowed to socialize and... Continue Reading →
My passion with beadwork began when I was a teenager and came across a book on French beaded flowers. As with many other types of art I was making, instead of starting with some simpler projects, I went straight for the goal. I decided to make an entire composition of lilies for my grandma’s birthday.... Continue Reading →
If you have been following my work for some time, you may have noticed that over the last several weeks I have mostly been poring over my older works and not really making anything new. I finished “Muted Potential” in early March, but I just couldn’t bring myself to start a new project. I have been marinating... Continue Reading →
