Presentation: I have spent more than forty years sewing tiny glass beads one to the next. This has been a journey of discovery and an attempt to see what is at the limit of my potential and of this medium's. My obsession has left me with images that chronicle each phase of my development as an artist, image maker and storyteller. They tell of technical achievements and narrative leaps. I will assemble a smattering of these images and talk about my artistic path and will also look forward to a discussion fueled by questions from the audience.
