I love texture. I combine interesting beads/cabs with fine silver, sterling silver and gold. This creates patterns that are unique and wonderful. I never design prior to creating. I like to feel the beads/cabs and let my hands decide what will happen to them combined with the metal. I compliment the beads/cabs/objects, making the wire/metal feel at home with the final design. My goal: to establish the best possible solution between the metal and enhancements, using color, design, pattern, simplicity and wearability.

My passion for fabrication began by taking classes at a local Fine Arts Center. I continued on with courses in fabrication at three local colleges and the Revere Goldsmith School in San Francisco where my eye for design came into play. Working with metal, creating one-of-a-kind pieces has become the ultimate source of intrigue for me...nothing could be more personally rewarding, except of course the end result - a completely happy, satisfied buyer!
