I began making jewelry by stringing beads when I was a child or pre teen. This fascination with shiny objects often had me trying on my grandmother's earrings and rings. The summer after my high school graduation I attended Drouhard's National Jeweler School near Columbus, Ohio. I suspended my love for making jewelry for adventures though North, Central and South America. I have settled into a space and place that allows my creative jewelry making to flourish and the end results are on this page.
I often find myself in the forest and in my garden and find inspiration in natural places and excitedly return to my studio to create modern earth inspired ornaments, otherwise known as jewelry.
