The face behind the name:

Hello!! My name is Ileana and I am originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

I have been living in Southern Pennsylvania for most of my life. I am 31 years old and have been married to my wonderful Husband for nine years, together we have three adorable boys and a hyper Yellow lab :)

Art has always been a passion for me in one way or another, as a small child painting was the thing, with my easel and paints I would go into my Grandmothers terrace and paint the day away, God love my parents for being so indulging! As a teenager my favorite was Ceramics, I loved to get a pass from my art teacher and and go help her during study halls. The pottery wheel and I were tight I tell ya! LOL!! Now as an adult I have found jewelry and glass beads, my free time goes to my tiny studio, while the boys and the dog are running around like Monkeys I am torching or beading. My darling husband takes over and makes sure that life keeps running while I am lost in my own little world. I feel that I am truly blessed to have such a supportive family, it is because of them that I am able to create my little works of art! I truly hope that you enjoy them as much as I did while they were being created!

My Family:

Me at the torch in the spring of 2007 :) I went to Indiana to torch with fellow Jewelry and Bead Artist! It was a BLAST!
