What boldness I have!
To bend glass to my will and
Call the beauty mine.

I lampwork my own glass beads in the flame, and put them together with stones, pendants, crystals and anything else that makes them complete. I am especially attracted to beads from Thailand, Nepal, India, Bali (Indonesia) Afghanistan, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Morocco, Sierra Leone, Turkey and Native American Tribes. I love combining cultural elements that would normally not be together- it's so American. Throughout time we have found jewelry that existed long before us and I like to think my necklaces will exist beyond us to tell our story.

Whatever brings you here, your hippy spirit, grateful dead loving soul, earthy vibe, goddess energy, Buddhist or pagan sensibilities; know that I make my pieces with intention and an eye towards numerology, astrology, the law of attraction and materials that have strong mother earth energy. All pieces are one of a kind- just like you!

I am a professor at Worcester State University in Central Massachusetts, a mom to a boy, 2 dogs and a cat, a wife and a dedicated social justice peace warrior. I also zentangle and weave Saori freestyle.

I love to wear my art and hope you will too!
