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

Hello!  As is normal for me....it's been a while since posting.
This year we are off to a fast and happy start with our shows.  We were in the huge Memorial Park show in Houston in late March and had a great time. Our next show was in lovely Wimberley, TX between Austin and San Antonio and again had a good show and met lots of great folks.
Our next show is in Dallas at the Arboretum this weekend! It should be lovely there! Not to mention the fine art show keeps getting better and better.
The Texas trend continues with a one day show in Wiley, TX on Saturday the 3rd of May.
