I attended Kent State University where I received a Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree in jewelry/metals with a minor in graphic design. From there I moved around the country working for other jewelers while also maintaining my own business.

Working in my studio, I use metal techniques such as granulation, raising, forging, enameling and fusing. I have been designing and creating jewelry for more than twenty years and my work has been sold galleries all over the country.

Ideas come from nature and my life experiences. My work is very personal to me and the pieces that I sell become very personal to the owner. Each piece is designed and created by hand by me. This means that all of my work is virtually one of a kind. I have different collections from more traditional jewelry to unique pieces of art and I enjoy creating all of it. Please have a good time looking at the inside of my mind.
