I have come to experience my life as a journey, each moment a destination of its own.
I seek to capture these moments in my jewelry and wearable fiber art.
Through my creations I hope to form a bond of personal expression between artist and wearer.
I imagine a web of these connections stretching between us all, each of our individual moments joining us in the journey of life.
I am a jewelry designer, metal smith, and yarn addict. I feel creation heals the rift in our modern soul. Jewelry/wearable fiber art offers us a very tangible link to the desire throughout history to adorn, enhance and express individuality.
I create my jewelry pieces with PMC, Bronze Clay, and Sterling Silver. I also enjoy working with vintage glass, fair trade beads, found objects, and fibers.
