I was immediately inspired back in 2000 when a friend and former co-worker showed me her handmade jewelry. I had always dabbled in creative projects, but did not know my niche until I met her. She let me in on resources and secrets that gave me a great start.

My work evolves while I try to maintain excellent form and craftsmanship. I want to love EVERY piece I create. It is hard for me to part with a piece but I remind myself that it will make someone else very happy.

Creating jewelry to me is like forming small sculptures. The positive energy flows from my hands to the wire not knowing exactly what will be the end result. I usually start with a focal piece of glass, stone or ceramic, and choose colors that contrast or complement. Then with most pieces I take my visions and chosen colors and let my hands do what they feel at the moment. I love the challenge of forming the wire to make a stone look completely different. The spiritual part of the process shines within the finished piece. You can almost see what I was feeling when I created it.
