Dottie Hoeschen Biography

Though I grew up in Marietta, Georgia and was originally a painter (BVA, Georgia State University) I have been doing jewelry design and beadweaving for several years now in Pennsylvania.

I divide my time between traveling and teaching, writing articles for various bead magazines, maintaining my two websites and etsy shops, and coming up with new designs in my studio.

I continue my fine artwork, too, and if you would like to see some of my oil paintings visit my other website at stonebrashcreative.com.
