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

A Tiny Update!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

We have traveled a lot this spring and early summer.  Just having finished eleven shows, the latest a wonderful show in Rockport, TX, we are taking a break to rest, visit our grandchildren (and children!), and gear up for many fall shows.

Our upcoming shows begin in the middle of August with a show in beautiful Lexington, KY - the AFB Woodlands Art Festival.  We'll have six shows in a row on this run and will be camping some between them for me to make the custom orders I take at shows.  I'll post a listing of all the upcoming shows tomorrow since the hard copy of our schedule is in my studio at home (we're in a motel getting ready to head for home in a hour or so).

Thank You to all the lovely people who have purchased first second and third pieces from me at our shows Fairhope, Baton Rouge, Corpus Christi, Tyler Rug Camp!, Duluth, GA, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Toledo, Annapolis, Virginia Beach, and Rockport.
