My studio absorbs me, I can spend hours on a piece and not realize the day has passed until night comes. My path in life has not been linear, but I can't imagine loving anything more than the peaceful, meditative release of creating jewelry. I am at home with metals, stones, and enamels.

My designs reflect maturity and immaturity, patience and impatience. I've embraced positive attributes and negative ones - they both have served me well. I'll never be perfect, but a desire to be perfect keeps me striving.

My wish is for all women to accept themselves completely. If a piece of my jewelry brings a smile of satisfaction then I've done my job. I create beautiful designs to encourage women to really embrace their unique beauty — the stuff inside.
