I’ve enjoyed working with my hands all my life. My jewelry-making obsession began when I watched the sun set over Lake Erie: I decided to make myself a necklace with the lustrous colors of the water. Now I’ve been making jewelry for over 20 years.
I’ve always been strongly influenced by nature and the colors around me. I find glass, in particular, mesmerizing: so much variety in so many sizes and shapes… the possibilities are endless! I get so much pleasure in the creation of these one-of-a-kind pieces. And I hope, when you wear my jewelry, you can feel that joy.
