Her love of working with metals and design over the years has its roots in generations of her family....

"I've always loved art and what it means to express myself through different forms. My focus has been in jewelry making and design using silver, gold, gems, and mixed media. My earrings, bracelets, and neckpieces are hand wrought in sterling silver, fine silver, argentium silver and gold. My brooches are fabricated using rare, and exotic feathers at times, from all parts of the world, adding vibrant color to my one of a kind "Dream Creatures".
My inspiration comes from both the beauty of nature and the many joys of city life".
