My jewellery adventure began as a young child with FIMO. I made beads, beads and more beads and soon needed to figure out what to do with them. Starting out with simple findings I began to create jewellery. It was always a hobby, I lugged bins of beading supplies with me to the cottage and made jewellery on the dock while everyone else swam.
Working part-time at a jewellery store and teaching jewellery workshops while in University, I finally realized this is what I wanted to be doing. So I enrolled in the Jewellery Essentials program at George Brown College in Toronto where I studied traditional goldsmithing techniques. Following that, I attended private classes and open studio at Nanopod Hybric Studio in Toronto, learning more, experimenting, and experiencing how a studio operates.
After running the shared stidio/gallery, The Artist's Den, in Collingwood ON for a couple years, I have recently moved my studio to my home. I continue to sell my work through galleries and stores, and now sell online!
