Bio

I started making jewelry in 1998 when I worked for a safari company and I used to carry my wire, beads and tools around in an "Amazon Woman" lunch box. My friends liked what I made so I decided to take it up full time. I made jewelry for the shops in the safari lodges, hosted many craft shows and displayed my wares at every local festival or market event I could find.
The opportunity of working for the family custom jewelry store brought me to Montana, where I work as an apprentice. I started making my silver and bead jewelry again this summer and am loving it more than ever.
When I am not making jewelry, selling at a market or spending time with family, I love to cook, read, ride my bike, hike, knit, travel and sneak up on my cat when she isn't looking.
