“Jewelry has the power to be the one little thing that makes you feel unique.”

A life-changing diagnosis put in front of me what seemed to a derailment.    Breast cancer.    As I went through my treatment and came out the other side, it was crucial for me to find new meaning in the path forward.   As with physical reconstruction, I found spiritual reconstruction necessary.   Slowing down and living in gratitude allowed me to discover a gift that a busy-paced life had overshadowed.  My creativity!  I found a way to express this gift:  Metalsmithing.

I love art and found making rustic jewelry is how I enjoy expressing myself.  Embracing imperfection is a mantra of mine, so as a metalsmith, I use that in creating rustic, organic pieces of jewelry.   All of my work is hand-fabricated through a variety of techniques.  I am inspired by many things, but especially by picking up and holding a special stone.  Then the fun begins!

Thank you for entering my website.  Look for me at various art shows and festivals.  I really adore meeting the people. 

Enjoying the journey,
