WITH ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE GIVEN TO US IN THIS REALITY WE CALL LIFE,FROM THE PETTY MATERIAL REALMS, TO THE COSMIC REALMS OF UNEXPLAINED FATE, TO CREATIVE THOUGHTS OF A UNIQUE BEING. I HAVE FOUND A KIND OF BALANCE WITH A COLLAGE OF THE THREE. ALL MY LIFE I HAD FELT AN UNEXPLAINED DRIVE TO CREATE WITH MY HANDS. FIRST AS A CHILD DRAWING WAS MY OUTLET,THEN CAME MUSIC.IT WASN'T TILL I WAS 23 YEARS OLD THAT glassBLOWING CAME IN TO MY LIFE. THREW THE YEARS I HAVE FOUND MYSELF ENGULFED IN MY WORKS. THRIVING TO TAME THE BEAST TO HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THIS MEDIUM. AT THIS POINT IN MY CAREER I HAVE CAME TO A PEACEFUL PLAIN IN LAMPWORKING ,READY TO FULLY EXPRESS MY LIFES WORKS.WITH THIS YEAR AHEAD YOU WILL SEE A MORPHING CHANGE IN MY WORKS THAT I HOPE MORE BEINGS WILL BE INSPIRED WITH. WITH THIS SAID I HOPE TO ALL THAT ARE EXPRESSING THEIR SELVES IN WHICH EVER FORM THAT YOU ARE. PEACE WITH YOU AND YOUR EXPRESSION WITH YOUR ART!

Hi TO ALL,
We have a fellow lampworker in our community that need our support!We recently did a Down the Street Bead Show with Shannon's parterns Jessica and Biddy down in Pompano and found out that Shannon has fallen ill with lung cancer.I talked with Jessica about a collaboration with the glass community to help Shannon out. I got a call a week later and she was making it happen.Jessica ask me to help with reaching out to the people in our community for support on the project that her ,Biddy and Ray Olson were putting together. So on that note i would like for all that can help Shannon to do so!They are taking donations to combine together in a aquarium salt water scene.Jessica adds "Heres some of the people that are already jumped on to help":Robert Mickleson,Ron Jr.,Kevin O'Grady,Wesley Flemming,Mr.Smilley,John & Tara Roberts,Will MenZies,Lorin stump,Milon Townsend,and more....
Thank you and blessings to all.
For info contact; Jessica at #(561)676-9346 or beads@forwardmotionar
