I have always been interested in design, sculpture and glass, so jewelry seemed like a natural extension. After graduating from Washington University School of Fine Arts, I worked as a art director and started taking Torch Work classes. Working as a graphic artist influenced my glass designs with unique color combinations, surface patterns and textures.

All my jewelry is hand fabricated, so each piece is truly unique. I like to incorporate other materials into my designs, such as, semi-precious stones, pearls, sterling silver, and 14 karat gold. Not all of my jewelry contains glass anymore, I have added some metal working, sewn beads, and laser cut steel. I enjoy learning new techniques and integrating them into my work.

The glass pieces are very durable, can be worn everyday, and do not need special attention. My customers tell me how much they enjoy owning and wearing my jewelry because it is so easy to wear.

Thanks for looking at my jewelry collection! I hope you find something that you enjoy wearing year after year!
