Additional Work Info you would like to share

Working with an unlikely combination of materials, each piece starts with my own graphic art that is printed on thin paper, meticulously laminated to various sizes of small tubing, and assembled with a variety of materials, including polymer clay, glass, metal and rubber and plastic. Because of the nature of the process, no two are exactly alike. Transforming non-precious, sometimes industrial materials into colorful, richly patterned art jewelry is an ongoing exploration.

A year ago or so I first saw your work on Polymer Clay Daily. Over several days I scrolled through the artisan's listing clicking on the name a of random artist, A-Z. When a name seemed to call out to me I clicked on the link. When I saw your work buzzing feelings tickled my senses. Textiles send chills throughout my body. I love textiles. Your work particularly piqued my excitement because of its African-ness. Questions bubbled inside my mined. Is this woman African, African-American? What is her connection with "The Continent" (as Africa is referred to in many parts of the Black community)? Has this woman traveled to African countries? Studied African designs?

Your work so completely captures the African spirit! How did this influence come to your work?

With humbleness I look forward to your continued communication.

Blessings,

Kathleen
