I have always made jewelry for myself. Graphic design has been my profession for decades, but somewhere along the line I needed to quiet a restlessness, a desire to be more creative along with a connection. My work is one of a kind, both elegant and organic. I hand pick stones, found objects and vintage trade beads with global history. There is a soulful component to my work that resonates with people ~ a connection through history or culture or noble beauty. For me, jewelry represents personal freedom, authenticity, and connection. It allows us to share something unique about ourselves with the world around us.
