Hello! I'm Terri.
I have a Fine Arts background from the University of Texas at Austin and I've spent over 25 years as an advertising / commercial photographer. www.glanger.com
What started as a hobby has become a meditative practice. Spending so much time in a digital world made me crave something truly analog.
Each piece I make is intuitive and one of a kind. I work with beads that carry stories - some ancient, some modern - drawing from many cultures and times. Each is a conversation between the past and the present. I approach these materials with respect, always aiming to honor their origins.
I was born in South Africa and moved Texas as a toddler, I visited a lot growing up and was mesmerized by the incredible tribal beadwork that you find at local markets. I feel fortunate to be able to incorporate some of those memories into these pieces.
Thanks for looking and thanks for supporting hand-made wearables!
