Who Am I?
I'm Nancy Braker and I make glass beads. That about sums it up. :-)
I have been making beads since January 2003. Melting glass was like "finding myself" in some kind of profound way that I can't explain to non-glass folks.
My official artist statement:
I melt glass because I must. It needs me to melt it and create it into little art pieces meant to be worn.
As you can see, I don't take myself too seriously. :-) I am definitely quirky and silly. I am age 40, married now about 20 years and live on a farm in Central Illinois...I am a CPA specializing in public pensions who works for a technology company traveling the USA on a private jet at times, and I'm a mom to a great son.
Need to know anything else? Just email me from the Contact page. Okay??
Enjoy! ~Nancy
