Barbara Beckmann Art is born out of a combination of my education, training and life experience, which allows my perspective as an artist to remain whimsical, carefree and contemporary.  I love hand making floral beads using dried flower petals.  I am Roman Catholic and the rosary have always had a great importance to my family. I make floral rosary, chaplets, jewelry, and floral resin pieces using dried flower petals, from roses to dandelions, all flowers can be used.
