Mary has loved beads and done beadwork since she was a child. She is also a recovering software engineer and an unrepentant sea kayaker.

In 1991, she established her own business, Virgo Moon, which offers one-of-a-kind, handmade jewelry and accessories for lovers of beads and stones.

“My pieces vary widely in style. When some object intrigues me, I try to find other objects and beads that feel happy with it. The resulting piece honors each component, and has a unique look

“A piece pleases me if it looks nice from a distance, and continues to surprise as you get closer to see the detail in it. I love the profusion of nature, and you will see this reflected in my work.”
