I have always enjoyed pursuing my artistic leanings, but it did not become a passion until a few years ago when I discovered jewelry making. The endless variety of techniques, colors, shapes, materials and textures is very appealing to me, and that's why I work in all types of media, such as firing my own clay designs, fusing and lampworking glass, and my current passion, metalsmithing, particularly with copper, brass and sterling silver. I tend to prefer soft, subtle color and uncomplicated shapes. I like my work to have an ancient, handmade quality, like it was recently unearthed at an archaeological dig.

In addition to my handcrafted one of a kind pieces, I am the designer for the Sea of Galilee and a A Timeless Grace collections of jewelry (with more time to come) for Roman, Inc., a large international giftware company.

Being able to be in my studio every day is just about heaven on earth for me, and it is my sincere hope that my joy shows in my work.
