About Me

self by lake (2).jpg

I began making jewelry back in the 70's- a bit of stringing, wire wrapping, and with the desire to learn more- I began to solder, to fabricate using hand tools and traditional silversmithing techniques. I have always had a love for organic forms and with that in mind I create unique one-of-a-kind art jewelry.

I usually start with sterling and may add 14kt. gold or a touch of copper, antiqued. I enjoy the challenge of adding texture, movement in the design and dimension. In the past I would exhibit at outdoor art festivals throughout Florida and the Midwest. I enjoyed the interaction with the public and my artist family.

Now with the current events, I find myself doing fewer shows. Instead, I will be trying the website, some online presents. On a different note, the best way to see my ring and bracelet selection would be at an art festival. I have found it difficult because of sizing.

PS-As of March 2026, I will be changing this site, probably eliminating most inventory as well as my schedule. Please contact me for my schedule as I am slowly starting to retire and will be doing less shows. Thank you so much for your support through the years.
