From 2003 to 2010 before I began sketching, I made and
sometimes sold artworks using a variety of media – beads, fiber, collage and
watercolor in the forms of jewelry, small sculptures, paintings and wearables.
I also spent those years teaching my crafts.
Tired of paying the ongoing maintenance fee, I recently took
down the very static website that I had been using during those years to
promote my work. I have posted a small selection of photos of that early work
here.

Your compositions are fascinating, Tina. I 'agree' with your expressions and thoughtful choices of color, form, and am amazed at the necklaces you designed with such creativity and beauty! The poncho like garment is also stunning! I would like to see other views of the garment. Your work is rich in range and design, thank you for posting it here. You are living art each day! Fantastic!
