I love textures and sparkle, and began my love of bead collecting through a class with Chevron Bead Company while living in Tallahassee, Florida. After playing with the art form for a couple of years I began to grow into a pattern of re-creating my visions or personal experiences through jewelry. Whether it be animals, dance, music, atmosphere, or someone I met, I love to tell the story visually. Influence = Art! The most exciting thing for me involves gift giving. I love when someone purchases a piece for that special person, and the right project always "finds" who it belongs too. Jewelry is perfect for this, as the jeweler is twice blessed. All pieces are made... with love... out of glass, wood, shell, wire, or other.
