About Me

I came of age at the end of the 1960’s ~~~ when an element of “adornment” was a part if everyday life. Our wardrobes consisted of old and new, basics and some flamboyant treasures. The Whole Earth Catalog showed us the path….. to where? And for more than fifty years I’ve been “making things”. Mostly I find they are the kind of pieces I have always thought to be the “flamboyant treasures” of my past. They are pieces that can transform the basics of our everyday style and lives. Today I am flooded daily with more ideas and inspiration than time! I’m so fortunate to have a studio filled with wonderful yarn, wire and beads, as well as the tools I need to realize my dreams… And that’s where you’ll find me most days… in my studio; Designing, Creating…. Weaving. I hope you find as much joy in my work as I do! I’m happy to share it with you.

Skills

Since then my path crossed those of other artisans, working with metal. Before I knew it, I was playing with wire… bending, shaping, forging. After all, it’s just kind of a stiffer form of yarn, isn’t it? My jewelry is about color and texture. I love the added kinetic dimension… that these pieces of jewelry can move and that they sometimes chime as beads and stones hit against the metal.
