Lisa has been designing and making jewelry for over four years. Lately, her focus has shifted
towards wire working. However, she still enjoys many other aspects of beading. At any
given time, you might find Lisa stringing beads, shaping, pounding, or hammering wire for
textural effect. She is always looking for new ideas and different techniques for making
various findings as well as actual jewelry. If a component does not exist or cannot be
located, it usually is possible to create it. Anything from glass and crystals to pearls,
gemstones, or even fun rocks might find their way into her pieces. Lisa works in different
mediums from handmade lampwork beads to metal art clay beads and pendants that she
then incorporates into her jewelry. Her current favorite is Sterling Silver wire.
She has taught several classes at The Bead Biz in Helena, Alabama including wire-wrapped
pendants, rings, and many, many bracelets. Lisa has attended numerous workshops with
other artists and has studied at the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts in north Georgia.
If she cannot find someone to show her, Lisa usually makes up a technique as she goes
along. Her work has shown in several local venues as well as regional arts and craft shows.
"Those who know her know that Lisa strives for perfection and innovation in her work and
lives her life with the same special light. Lisa's art is infused with balance and peace that
brings clients to her again and again for a very special experience and unique art pieces."
