The women of the African savannas...

The lush green islands of the Caribbean...

Paul Gauguin's Tahitian women...


These are some of the inspiration for my Island girls. Some are food bearers, others carry water, some are divas, others just everyday women.

I am working on related beads, African styled drums, palm trees, water vessels and huts.

The pattern for this costume was inspired by pictures of printed cloth and mud cloth designs.

The shape and details of African drums were used in the design of these black and white beads. They are challenging to form.

These beads are based upon the shapes of water containers made from gourds.
