- About Me:

Making jewelry is a love and passion for me. I have always done something with art from drawing to photography to painting to sculpting to stained glass.
Born in Connecticut, raised in New Jersey, and now living in North Carolina has given me wonderful insight into the rich histories and talents of our Country's artisans along the east coast. I am hoping to meet artists from all over our great Country and abroad to enhance and diversify my knowledge of their talents and backgrounds.
My husband of 21 years has been my constant supporter. We have three wonderful children. Our oldest daughter is a junior and is attending UNC Greensboro. Our son is a freshman at Western Carolina University, and our youngest daughter has begun her junior year in high school.
I began my beading journey at the tender young age of 14. Twenty-six years later my love for making jewelry resurfaced. I've used beads in my collection that I've moved and stored over the years. Some of my beads originate from vintage pieces of jewelry that are carefully and lovingly dismantled, then they are used in "new" pieces created only by me.
Schooled as a graphic artist and illustrator I became charmed once again creating one of a kind beaded and lapidary pieces in 2002. I create all my work in my home studio in Jamestown, North Carolina.
I like working with natural components. Materials I use are subject to availability and I do not make the same thing twice. You can be sure that the piece you purchase is unique. I use the best quality sterling silver beads and findings. Great care is taken to ensure that each piece is made to become a treasured favorite.
CUSTOM ORDERS gladly taken upon request. Please email me with your request. A response to your request will be made within 48 hours.
