Bio

Every one of my jewelry designs is one of a kind, handmade by me.
I love designing and creating jewelry. I fully enjoy the process from conception to completion.
My formal studies include silver jewelry fabrication, lost-wax casting, ceramics and precious metal clay. Currently, I am preoccupied with wire wrapping and bead weaving.
I love to collect beads wherever I go and have been doing it for decades. Some of my favorites are from France and Italy. I've found lovely vintage glass from antiques dealers in Paris, and villages throughout the French countryside. I've found beautiful and unique examples of contemporary and vintage beads in
England, Spain, Dominican Republic, Mexico the Netherlands and Florence and Murano, Italy, and I've personally observed lampwork bead artists at work in Venice, who still follow a centuries-old tradition of glass making.
Many of these beautiful beads and special objets d'art find special places in my designs.
