About Us

I have taken that early silversmithing knowledge and combined it with other artistic mediums. In my early 20’s, I began working with glass, and ultimately opened a Stained glass business, making large scale custom windows that live today in some southern California cities.  In the early 80’s I began kiln forming glass, and though it was an ancient technique of glass manipulation, there was a reasurragence of this medium that I got into at its infancy.
However since a single digit age, fiber has been one of my mainstays in my creative process. I have found Metal and glass have always been unforgiving mediums due to their inherent rigidness, whereas fibers have always been a soft place for my creativity to land.
In the early 90’s I decided to incorporate the techniques worked in the three mediums. Weaving sterling as if it were silk, infusing metal in heat formed glass and ultimately creating jewelry that reflects a montage of these three very different disciplines.
I have also taught jewelry making, incorporating the disciplines described above in both California and the Pacific Northwest, where today I call home.

I am a true Californian, growing up in LA, and in adulthood I’ve lived on the hills of Ventura, overlooking the Pacific and the channel islands. I lived in the sierras, in a dirt road hamlet on the western shores of Lake Tahoe. I left there for the hustle bustle of California Street in downtown San Francisco, only to end up for a time north of the golden gate in San Rafael. At that time my life was blessed with my only born, an amazing daughter! When she was almost 6 we moved to the southern tip of the puget sound, where I’ve resided for almost 20 years.
