About
I'm self taught in several mediums - when I discover something I want to learn, I read up on it and just dive in!
My real passion though, is jewelry. I love to create pieces with the feeling of being from another time and place, with hints of Art Nouveau and a bit of gypsy spirit.
Inspiration comes from everywhere - I never know what's going to set me off in another direction for my designs!
Currently I'm fascinated with found object jewelry and the challenge of creating something useful and/or beautiful from odd bits of old hardware and junk.
My work has been featured in several magazines, including BeadStyle, Bead Trends, Jewelry Affaire and Belle Armoire Jewelry.
Thanks for taking a look at what I truly love to do!
