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

2014 Good Gravy!!!

There is a beautiful woman wearing this in Memphis! I had thought I would post of photo of her wearing this in my booth, but I caught her with eyes in a half-blink and decided she wouldn't be too happy with her expression.  Timeless Italy ~ the name of this pendant ~ was a lovely choice for her with her hazel eyes and steely dark grey hair. I love to see my pieces find their homes.

I don't remember how many renditions of Queen Esther (Biblical queen of Persia) I have made. Almost ten by now, and each one is different in headdress and expression. The story is inspiring and such a good read. The Old Testament is full of exciting real people who became heros as a direct result of their faith. Esther is courageous, humble, bold and beautiful. It thrills me women connect with her and want to wear the image of this great and brave woman!
