October 2025 3-D Featured Artist Nancy Burke

Nancy Burke is a Handbeaded Jewerly Artist.

For Nancy, it all started when she walked into a cute pink cottage, expecting perhaps a
gift store? But it was a bead shop, full of colorful, unique and tiny beads. She spent
hours exploring and, in her words – “just looking” – and ended up taking a class the next
day! And her addiction began.

The beads are so small, and she works with just one tiny bead at a time. She creates a
fine needle, and fine filament. The technique is very time-consuming and requires a
high level of concentration and patience. The result is a truly unique piece of jewelry.
Nancy is inspired by everyday beauty, and loves creating unique jewelry – as unique as
the customer who wears it.
