A native of Southern New Jersey, I get my inspiration for creating handmade items from the serene, natural beauty of the surrounding Pinelands or "Pine Barrens." I'm also inspired by the long history of glass-making that is unique to this area.
I find beauty in simplicity, and I design my jewelry and accessories with that in mind. All of my creations have purpose and meaning as well; I use semi-precious stones for their healing properties and lampwork glass beads handcrafted by local artists; each stitch of my handmade prayer shawls, scarves, and lap blankets is crocheted with loving thoughts and prayers. :)
My hope is to spread the beauty, peace, and joy that I experience in creating these lovely little "jewels of the pines."
