About Beads of a Threader
The Artist
I am a Biodynamic Cranial Osteopath and have used my hands to treat people for nearly 30 years. About 15 years ago, while recovering from an illness, I was taken with the healing world of art, leading to a whole new use of my hands.
​
First, giant needles with fuzzy yarn, then water-coloring, and finally FIBER, and COLOR, and TEXTURE emerged as the most compelling tools and teachers for me. And so I became a fiber artist.

The Art
This site allows me to show and sell my work. I work with beads, textiles, yarns, found objects, semi-precious stones, glass lampwork beads, crystals, and geodes. They come together as wearable art (necklaces, cuffs and bracelets) and mixed media hanging art. These can be found in the Shop under those two categories.
I have labored with love over every one of these pieces. What keeps me in the studio is the never-ending discovery process of each piece, and listening for what IT is telling me to do. As an extra bonus, this process has informed and enhanced my practice as a physician.
​
May you too find a creative outlet for your inner thoughts and dreams.
Marianne Herr-Paul, D.O.
