Over the years I've taken many workshops and classes to learn silversmithing to work with semi precious metal fabrication, mixed materials, wire wrapping, enamels, fold forming, a hydrualic press, cold connections, glass, pmc, metal clay, etching, shell forming, soldering, working with semi precious gemstones.  Soon to come lapidary, inlay and casting.  My life is never dull.  For which I am grateful for, meeting many wonderful aspiring metalsmiths, who have opened up my abiltility to be mentored and self taught. Each year brings a new challenge and something new to learn.

 

      I now have a vision and a studio in my home to work, independantly as a self represented artist, full time business owner, metalsmith and jewelry designer.  Not to mention part time wife, book keeper, marketing manager, shipping manager, social media updater, designer and maker.  I often get asked, where I can be found?  Through out the year, I have a few consignment locations, farmer's markets, boutiques and local events, my etsy shop and other online venues. I am passionate about what I do, it keeps me very busy at most times, although it's very rewarding.  It's opened up more possiblities for my free time to spend in the garden, camping ,with my family and walks with our beagle. 

 

       More importantly, the personalized accessories and custom made orders that get most of my time and detail, bring a great deal of importance to my life and their owners.  Mother's that have lost baby angels, seeking for that momento to hold on to, the bride looking for that perfect detail for her special day, the cancer survivor, the everyday shopper, right down to the little girl looking for a gift for dad. I hope that now you know a little more about me, you will realize how much of my heart and soul goes into my work and with every custom peice to be as unique as each person receiving it.  Please feel free to look around and use the contact me section for questions or custom orders.
