Onna Schwindt is a mixed media bead and embroidery artist residing in El Cerrito, California. She has been doing embroidery since her childhood, and has over 35 years of experience with beadwork. Her work is inspired by the patterns, circles, symmetry, and sacred geometry that surround us in daily life. Her art has been shown in exhibitions around the Bay Area, and is sold at ACCI Gallery in Berkeley.
