About Me

Many years of drawing and painting portraits lead to cramped creativity. The years of producing work "to please the customer" weighed on my desire to design tactile permanent pieces simply for the real pleasure it gives me. My first freeing step was to produce large designs in rough cut steel to be installed on the outside of buildings. I later moved indoors working in sheets of sterling silver to create jewelry. Finding the silver work more gratifying than steel, I am pleased that people enjoy my jewelry. I make my own stamping tools and hammer most surfaces, finishing with steel wool or polishing to a high shine. My husband, Leigh, and I sell my work at the juried shows we are invited to all across the U.S. Email for prices and information please swadeworks@gmail.com

Winding up for the Year




Next weekend we are off to Covington, LA for their wonderful Covington Three Rivers Art Festival. It is such a lovely town, just north of New Orleans, and they know how to put on an art show. Our last show is in Mesa, Arizona in the middle of December. Immediately after the Mesa show we're off to Simi Valley, CA to meet our newest grandchild!
I'm posting more new pieces for you. I hope my air card is fast this am. Living in the country is wonderful except for no fast cyber service.
