Art was always my favorite class at school. I consider myself lucky to have gone to schools that had very well equipped art departments. I was introduced to silversmithing in my junior year of high school. In college, I started as a ceramics major but soon switched to jewelry and have continued exploring jewelry for over 40 years now.
Everything I make is individually handmade. I prefer working directly with the metal, shaping and soldering the silver and/or gold. I love colors, and prefer to work with colored stones. Dichroic glass was love at first sight for me, this medium allows me to create my own cabochons and beads. I had to learn how to kiln fuse glass as soon as I saw the bright colors in dichroic glass.
