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

This is what you should look for at shows ~ my current booth set up hasn't changed much in past several years so it should be familiar.

We are looking forward to being in Lexington, KY in mid August.

Our September is full now.

Franklin, MI on Labor Day ~ just on Monday with a parade to boot.

Art and Apples in Rochester, MI the following weekend. Large show with apple pies for sale!

The weekend after Art and Apples we're in Funky Ferndale in where else but Ferndale, MI.

The fourth show in Sept might be Common Ground in Birmingham, MI.  ~ I'm on the wait list.

October is looking good.

Red River Revel in Shreveport, LA  October 4-12 A nice long show and close to our home in Texas!

One weekend off  to play with our grand children, cut the grass, and pet my horses! ...and make jewelry of course.

River Arts Festival in Memphis which is a great show.

November is a one show month this year. I'll return to The Great Gulf Coast Fine Art Festival in Pensacola the first weekend on the month.
