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

Happy September! I have been enjoying creating more large pieces since the octopus custom necklace.
We are in the middle of a lot of shows right now and working hard to keep up with sales. Hope to see you at Black Swamp in Bowling Green, OH, or Wichita, KS at Autumn and Art, then Leesburg, VA and the formerly named TACA in Centennial Park in Nashville!

Hi Sally, Just wanted to let you know how much I like the ring I purchased from you in San Antonio
earlier this year. Its great and I get lots of compliments on it. I think you actually said you made it
from left over pieces that you had. You carved a lovely dove on it. Thanks again and when are you
in the central texas area again? Linda Quaid
