By combining natural, semi-precious gemstones with other materials of contrasting textures, finishes and colors, I create unique wearable art. I am eclectic in the techniques I use to create each piece, letting the focal of the piece guide me in an artistically pleasing direction. Wire wrapping, wire knitting and wire crocheting are among the techniques I employ in many of my handmade necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. In addition to selling in local shows and online, I do custom work, including designing jewelry settings for individual pieces as well as for special occasions. I teach jewelry making and host jewelry parties.
