About the Artist: Patti Marzano

I have done beadwork all of my life. I was a 60's hippie and just never stopped. I got in to lampworking glass beads in the mid 80's and now make custom jewelry with my beads.

Before I was diagnosed with PPH I was a cosmetologist for 40 years in the summer months and spent the winters doing and selling my art. Now I can't work at the torch yet. O2 and a flame just don't go together. :o) , but once I start treatment and move down in altitude I'll resume my torch work.

I owned a bead shop and taught everything from basic necklace stringing to glass blowing. I have been active in live theater for 20 years and have enclosed a photo from one of the performances. I rode my own Harley Davidson up until this happened to me and plan on getting a trike in the future.

I call Lake City, Colorado home, but with an altitude of 8700 ft above sea level, I haven't been home since the heart failure in April 2006. I am currently living with my mother in Westminster, Colorado and enjoying my two grandchildren.

Patti, I love your art!! It's so "beautifully colorful". Must take you forever to make. My favorite is the turtle.

Patti, I was with you in the 60's but on a different coast. I just love your work. I bead just a little for myself but I'm total blown away with the turtle. Do you glue them on? I need lessons. Thanks for sharing yourself. Janie

Patti, I am SO impressed with your work... I cannot imagine the effort that must go into producing these pieces. Love the color... I bet you can't wait to get to an altitude that will allow you to do the torch work... be sure and let us know when you move. More photos please!

Patti,
Your work is beautiful. So colorful and interesting! The Harley is great! I was born and raised in Colorado, just a couple cities south of Westminster. PH prompted a move to sea level and what a difference that made. I felt much better and was able to get rid of the O2 for several years. Thanks for sharing your artwork.

Welcome to the Creative Corner, Patti!
