Born and raised in Chicago, IL. A graduate of Illinois State University. I have always been a creative spirit throughout my life as a metalsmith, poet and painter. Years of experimenting have gone into my unique line of jewelry. What inspires me to create is my longing to make people smile and to tell whimsical tales. I am grateful for the bridge of love that creates a way for my soul to walk home. I have been selling my art successfully throughout the U.S. since 1990.
