Virago Creations

I'm a multi-media artist who enjoys making jewelry, handmade paper using recycled and organic elements and all types of altered art including handpainted glass, altered books and collage on paper, wood and canvas. Many of the supply items I sell in my shop have been hand-altered by me - I like to start the altering process and make my transformed treasures available for your creative use.

I enjoy spending time at thrift stores and consignment boutiques looking for vintage jewelry. Some of the found jewelry is 'deconstructed' to make my own creations, while other finds are sold to like-minded jewelry artisans!

I'm a former New Yorker, who relocated to New Mexico after living in South Florida for 10 years. I live amongst the winery vineyards and horse ranches in the North Valley area of Albuquerque. When I'm not channeling my creative energy, I channel healing energy as a licensed massage therapist and energy healer (Reiki Master/Teacher, Quantum Touch, EFT, crystal and chakra therapy).
