I have always been fascinated by design, sculpture and glass working.
As a graduate of Washington University School of Fine Arts, I worked to nurture and develop those interests. Working separately in all three areas eventually led to
a natural confluence - the result was jewelry design.
Intrigued by glass and its endless possibilities, I took a lampworking class and was completely hooked. It wasn’t long before I had a home studio and was making beads in every free moment. The years of studying and working as a graphic artist
influenced my bead deigns with unique color combinations and surface patterns.
While creating my jewelry lines, I experimented with other materials, incorporating semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls, sterling silver, and 14 karat gold.
Most of my work consists of brilliant hues and unusual stones. I am drawn to
vibrant colors, and seek to combine color and texture in new ways.
All my jewelry features quality materials and workmanship. Each piece is
hand fabricated, so all are truly unique and made with great care. I may make the same design twice, but there are always subtle differences. Even though my
jewelry is glass it is very durable, meant to be worn and enjoyed everyday.
These pieces are not fragile and do not need special attention.
To me, jewelry is a very personal thing even though it is there for all the
world to see. Jewelry reflects much about a person, it speaks to your sense
of design and spirit of individuality. It should complement not overwhelm
or overshadow one. My customers tell me how much they enjoy
owning and wearing my jewelry - it is distinctive yet easy to wear.
Thanks for looking at my jewelry collection!
I hope you too find something that speaks to your sense of style.
