Meet Wanda

Wanda started beading when she was a little girl. "My grandmother taught me to beadwork." While she admits she was too much of a tomboy to sit still for all those hours, she developed her love of beadwork.

Alot of thought goes into my art work as an artist. Dreams, vision, books, magazines and other artist. I started my business out of the Small Business Center/Greenhouse program in the year of 1992-93. I went under the umbrella program, which Dave Dona directed. I learned how do a business plan, run a business, I moved into a home-base business on campus after completing this pilot program.

My beadwork is my art, my art in my life. When I really get down in the dumps, she says," I sit and beadwork and it's a healing for me, very therapeutic for me to do my beadwork."
