I first got interested in jewelry design in 2004. My sister was getting married and found a wonderful bracelet to wear with her dress. It was almost perfect, but needed to be resized. I offered to take it on, and quickly discovered how much I loved working with pretty, shiny things! One thing led to another, and a new obsession was born! My initial work used simple methods to play with combinations of colors and materials. I continue to study and pick up new techniques and now work in silver, mixed metals, enamels, and silver clay, and produce more intricate beaded work as well.

I've been sewing as long as I can remember (thank you, Grandma) and have had a long love affair with fabric. I realized at some point that I needed to actually use all the gorgeous and fun fabrics I've collected over the years, and started sewing totes and zippy bags. I also make pillows, quilted panels and other decorative things. I love the excuse to dig into the stash to see where it and my imagination take me next!
