I began beading jewelry in 2001 & became focused on silversmithing in 2014. I strive to create one-of-a-kind pieces combining sterling silver & gold-filled metals with semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls & genuine leather. I am inspired by naturally organic design in creating rings, bracelets, earrings & pendant necklaces. I love lots of unique textures, mixing metals & the challenge of trying new techniques. I'm always happy to demonstrate my art for those visiting my small but efficient workspace & am grateful for the opportunity to be a 2024 MAST exhibitor.
