The beads, small sculptures, and jewelry created by Maureen Henriques of Pumpkin Hill Beads tell a story of her subject matter as well as her rich creativity and passion for metalwork and glasswork. Her sense of humor and playful spirit shine through in her whimsical miniatures and her macabre jewelry components. Wildlife conservation, particularly of large African mammals, is also a prominent theme in her work.
