Swanee says she doesn't recall being especially artsy as a child, but her mother
loved color, and “she wasn‘t afraid to use it!“  One cold winter, h
er mother
painted the living room ceiling orange so she could feel the warmth of the sun.  
Swanee says she's not as free spirited as her mother, but she did learn a love of
color from her
.  To this day, Swanee can’t walk out of the paint department
without a hand full of sample cards!  

Swanee began beading several years ago when she joined a beading group on a
whim.  She falls in love with every bead that passes through her fingers; and she
loves to play with them, sorting and organizing, and creating beautiful pieces of
jewelry.

Not content to create jewelry in a particular style, Swanee enjoys weaving tattoo
patterns, elegant wedding jewelry, and everything in between.  Perhaps she's
more her mother's child than she thought!
