Each spider’s web has a distinct design that is unique to each spider species. Spiders have always been a fascination to me, I am drawn to their precision and intricacy.  This fascination evolved into two different pursuits.  One, a 14 year hobby of owning a number of tarantulas as pets providing me with the opportunity to observe and study them more closely.  The second, artistic inspiration. Spiders have provided the basis for design in many of my creative pursuits, including bead and fiber designs, photography, drawing and painting.

My history and intrigue with spiders combined with a lifelong passion for creating has evolved into the Inspired Spider representing my many different artistic pursuits. Based in a studio on the tranquil shores of Mink Lake the Inspired Spider encompasses a multimedia artistic output reflecting designs drawn from numerous sources and experiences.
