About the Artist: Dolores is an Air Force veteran, who traveled around the world, collecting sea glass, shells, stones, fossils, and semi-precious stones just waiting to be incorporated into wearable creations. After retiring from the armed forces, she opened The Wild Bead and Boutique, in Montgomery, Alabama, where she taught beading, embroidery beading, jewelry, and cold connections. Her first class at William Holland was cold connections with Kim St. Jean, where her love of manipulating metals into creative wearable art began. She is self-taught artist, but classes at William Holland have helped her advance her creations to a higher level. Dolores loves meeting and nurturing other artists and was a 12-year active member of the Montgomery Gem and Mineral Society and held the role of Vice President, Newsletter Editor, and Annual Gem and Mineral Show Manager, but recently transferred her membership to the Alabama Mineral and Lapidary Society, in Birmingham, Alabama to explore more rock digs, classes and meet other rock lovers. Dolores is a member of the Pike Road Arts Council, Alabama Art Guild and teaches cold connection classes to the public and art guild members. Her other lapidary passions consist of rock hounding, cutting semi-precious stone slabs and shaping cabochons.
