Hello and Welcome to Crafts for Peace.

On this site I will be featuring my own work, as well as the work of the Uganda Women Empowerment through Crafts (UWEC) which has become a big part of my life's work.  It is learning the art of breaking barriers amongst cultures, and creating bridges between people.  It is the art of empowering myself as I empower others to do their art.

I studied painting in school, and learned jewelry making, stained glass, and computer art on my own.
My graduate school training in Art Therapy taught me how to use creative media in therapy to help others.

In this site are  samples of my paintings created during the past 25+ years as an artist, as well as  jewelry I have created. 

I welcome wholesale inquiries for the Paperbead Jewelry .  These 2 items have done very well in stores selling sustainable items as well as for fundraising.  For reference, feel free to click on Retail Locations which list some of the stores which carry these products.

Thanks for your interest!
