Growing up with a woodworker/metalworker father & mom who would crochet just about anything, I was destined to LOVE designing & crafting! I actually stumbled upon this wonderful medium of jewelry making, when I was actually a long time candlemaker. Wanting to try my hand at some personalized jewelry after the birth of my first daughter, I began the love of this art. My devotion to the jewelry making overtook my candlemaking craft & I was transformed.

I have since attended many different metalsmithing classes and found my niche there. I am a metal girl at heart, in that I love, love, love working with the vast choices in metal materials, from antiqued copper to vintage brass to shiny or oxidized sterling silver. Turning new metals into organic, aged beauties before my eyes fascinates me, as well as handstamping a personal or meaningful message, giving plain metal a whole new style.

Six years later, here I am still adoring the craft & always thinking up new designs with a funky edge.

My taste goes from earthy to urban to romantic vintage, blending with hand-stamped inspiration, altered collage art & throw soldering into the mix. Personalized pieces are my specialty.

I would love to design something special for your occasion or bridal party. Please feel free to inquire anytime!!

I am a VERY LUCKY AND BLESSED mom to four beautiful children! They are my heart and designing is my passion! I also owe a lot to my husband of 14 years, who supports me with my art.

Thank you so much for finding a bit more about me and please come back again as I will always design with you in mind!!
