Since early childhood, I have been fascinated with color and light. I am particularly attracted to the way light moves through glass objects and have a large collection of hand blown glass balls. This passion has led me to the world of glass and semi-precious stone beads and all the wonderful color combinations that are possible. I started out crafting earrings as a way to relieve stress from my everyday job (teaching) and before I knew it I had hundreds! My husband encouraged me to make larger pieces that would challenge me and take longer to make. HA! By the end of two months, I had a slew of necklaces (granted I was spending a lot of sleepless nights lost in the creative endeavor). There was no way I was going to be able to wear all of them.  Solution—share my passion with others.

Colors and designs of nature’s elements are my inspiration. Semi-precious stone, pearl, coral, bone, metal, and glass elements are strung, stitched, wire worked into unique hand crafted jewelry. Every piece is an adventure, an act of discovery as the multiple elements are artfully combined to create meticulously crafted one of a kind adornments. The result is unique jewelry with an exotic look that will spice up any wardrobe.

Most of my jewelry is either one of a kind or limited editions. Please contact me if you have a specific idea in mind; if I don’t have it, perhaps I can create what you desire.
