My husband and I live in small town in the beautiful Pacific Northwest where I have my home studio. We live with our two dogs, April and Sophie and my horses Kit and Spirit.

After our children left the nest I looked for something to fill my need to create. I discovered glass and metal and the amazing things that can be created with these two wonderful materials. The cool solid glass rods and how they become liquid when heated with my torch and then solid again when cooled, intrigued me. Turning solid wire and sheet metal into something beautiful is so satisfying. The design possibilities are endless and only limited by my imagination.

I believe the lush scenery around Oregon has influenced my work. Earthy, organic and highly textured pieces reflect the great Northwest I dearly love.

I am a Self-Representing Artist Jewelry Designer (SRAJD #0678). When you purchase from an SRAJD member, you are buying directly from, and supporting the artist. I am also a member of ORBS (Oregon Regional Beaders Society) a diverse group of glass beadmaking artists. We gather to exchange information, ideas and knowledge, promote education and bask in the fellowship of other glass beadmakers.
