I've long been addicted to jewelry. From this has grown a desire to produce my own line of beautiful things. I have explored a range of different media, including ceramics, silk painting, watercolor, and costuming, but my constant love is still jewelry.

I enjoy working in PMC because it takes textures so well and lends itself to organic shapes that would be very difficult to achieve with traditional metalworking. I have recently discovered fusing glass and PMC together, and this has added a new dimension to the possibilities with this media.

I enjoy traditional metalworking because it allows me to finally bring those designs that are knocking around in my head into the world where others can enjoy them. I am particularly interested in the techniques of chasing and repousse, granulation and enameling.

I believe in continuous learning and growth. I feel that when you stop learning, your brain looses it's elasticity, and stagnation follows. I am always learning something new--whether it's a new technique, a new medium to work in, or a new direction.

I'm never bored!
